Default What is your favorite OpusX vitola?

I have not smoked any of the OpusX line and was wondering which vitolas you guys perferred and why.

I prefer the Super Belicoso or if I have less time the Power Ranger.

I've always seemed to get the most flavor and power out of those two, especially after they've been sitting for a couple of years

The only one I've had that I enjoyed was the Double Corona.

Power Ranger seems to be the best blend of body and flavor for me.

The various vitolas in the line all smoke differently than each other, some more noticeably than others. Like the Super Belicoso is going to be a rather different experience than the #4 (corona), yet the #4 and #5 (petite corona) are rather similar, but still subtly different.

What one person's reasons for liking one size over the other might not be the same for you.

My recommendation would be to try and get your hands on a few different vitolas; a small and narrow ring gauge, a larger one and one in between if you can. Doesn't really matter which ones, just that they are different - then see which ones you like and then explore the other similarly sized Opus X vitolas in that range.

Good point above. After going through the line I stick to The Power Ranger, #4, and Fuente Fuente. If time permits for the larger....RdC.

Power Ranger for me. The petite lancero makes for a nice smoke too.

Thanks everyone for y'alls input. I'm lucky enough to be able to get my hands on almost every vitola so I will take Adam's suggestion and try them all. But I am really looking forward to the Petite Lancero.
Thanks again...

I've only had two, the Belicoso and the Robusto (Fuente Fuente?). I liked the Robusto one best.
