I've never encountered an Opus that was plugged or had an uneven burn. The Fuentes I've smoked have always had a razor sharp burn. Their rollers do a great job.

Never plugged or tight.
Off burn on one or so, yeah, but nothing terrible at all.

Like I said earlier in this thread, I have smoked many an Opus, since their intro to the public back in 1996, at least a couple of hundred and probably more. I'll say again, never had one that was plugged, a few tight draws - yes, and burn issues - yes, on more than a few! Like the man says above, the older they are the better they smoke and most burn issues simply go away!

Funny so many people speak so well of them. In the 30 or so I've smoked and experimented with storing, I've yet to smoke one that didn't have some sort of plug or burn issue.


Luckily, I'm not a picky smoker per se, so I correct or use a draw tool as necessary.

Really, it must be, because I can't see anyone else having that kind of bad luck. I've tried storing them at different humidity levels over time and everything, but nothing seemed to work.


I will grant you, all but maybe 3 of those Opus were less than two years old, and the couple that were older burned considerably differently (plugs rather than runs) so I could have just gotten a handful of bad ones from that year.
