How long should I let a new Opus rest?

I've heard there best at 3 years.

Since you have more than one I would smoke one now and then age the other for at least a year, compare the two giving you an idea if you like them fresh or with some age on them for future reference.

I like mine with a minimum of 3 years on them.

Hold out as long as you can before smoking one (yea, right!)
I like em fresh (bold & sassie) and with 2+ years on em (matured & nuanced),but as always I say experiment and find out what you like!

Donnie knows moonshine....

Good luck, Ritchie, waiting 3-5 years!

What's an Opus X?
Just kidding!
I like to hide 'em so I won't be tempted to smoke 'em. Then when 5 or so years go by I pull one out and pat myself on the back for having great willpower.
Put one away for a long time, you'll be glad you did.

They only get better with age.

Smoke one now, if its good, repeat and aquire more...

Concensus say...smoke one now and let the other rest.

Then that's it. One of them dies a fiery death this weekend and the other gets to pretend it's Rip Van Winkle.

Jamie...moonshine? You know an Alabama boy don't know nothing about no moonshine now don't you?
