Who am I kidding, I haven't had either one in almost 15 years, but OPUS is not so hot fresh,
and I never bothered to stick around long enough to age one. Give me a fine havana anyday.
CONSISTENCY? Take the Fuente everytime.

Actually the Opus are all aged 5 years before shipping, so fresh off the truck has more age than most. I'm a fan of Habanos as well, just not a fan of tossing every other cigar I light because it's plugged.

I agree, I prefer the DC's. IMOHO, the DC's are a subtler, more complex cigar than the Opus. Even aged Opus are too "in your face". I am so glad that there are lots of different cigars out there.....

This post has me very excited to try the DC that I picked up the other day. I had heard these same good things about them before, especially as compared to the Opus X line, so I grabbed a double robusto last time I was at the B&M. It's getting smoked this weekend!

They're a very good cigar. I really enjoy cigars that are subtle and force you to do a little concentrating to catch the nuance. Enjoy yourself.

I've only smoked the DC, have yet to smoke an Opus......something to look forward to perhaps.

I personally like the No. 4 Petite Beli.. got one in a box
pass, and I couldn't put it down! Great short smoke w/
excellent flavors.

I love the DC #2. Nice, smooth, subtle smoke.
