Is Opus X really "all that"?

Personally, I find the longer Opus Xs to be as boring as watching paint dry and I've seen BOTLs who are trying their first Opus and it's a Double Corona, or Reserva D'Chateau or Perfexion No. 2 and they sit there smoking the cigar "waiting for something to happen" and since it never does, they end up turned off to the line. If I had to recommend two Opus X's for someone to try, I would say the xXx Power Ranger (short torpedo) and the Perfecxion No.4 (corona, cedar wrapped) or a Perfecxion No.5 (petite corona). Different enough in size that they have noteable differences in complexity and power, not so long that one ends up bored.

Well said Adam. I have to agree with you on the vitolas and taste.
As far as if they are worth trying? Sure, anything is worth a try if you can afford it. Just do not pay 25+ for them.
