Had my 1st Opus X

[fatdog]

had one with about a year of rest on it last week. It was outstanding. A little more mellow than I remember but worth the wait. I need to get a couple more for resting purposes. I have a Casa Fuente resting as well, how do they compare I have never had a casa before?
Peace

If you got your first Opus at Casa Fuente you paid dearly for it! I have been there and it's a great shop but the prices are very high! Still, when in Rome...

To address the Opus and Casa comparison - they are two completley different cigars. They both taste great and are well constructed, but to me the Opus is a spicier and more in your face, even with a year on them, the Casa is still strong, but the spice is not pepper, more cinnamon/nutmeg. Casa Fuentes remind me of the holidays and was actually my go to nice smoke this past holiday season. Both are great smokes, IMO but I prefer the Casa hands down (which is unfortunate, since they are about 2x as much).
