I'm not going to defend the Opus X sticks other than to say that if they are that underwhelming for some, you're welcome to empty your humidor of them and send them to me. You'll be able to take comfort knowing that they went to someone who likes them, and you'll feel good about giving something to someone else out of the kindness of your heart.

Win win for you - plus you don't have to smoke a "turd". So win win win for you.

Hate's probably the wrong word, there are just a decent number of us that feel they are heavily over-hyped and over-priced for what you actually get. I wouldn't call them turds, but I don't think they're any better than most of your average $3 to $5 stick. Certainly nothing to write home about or go out of my way for and definitely don't deserve the premium reputation or price.

I would even pay 6-8 bux for an Opus, but not much more.

That is about the right price range for them, in my opinion, and enjoyable for the price point. 6-8 would be overpaying.

Price is usually a big determining factor in most of what people like and don't. Most people are the bang for buck type and will only like something when the experience is equivical to the price tag. If you can smoke A for $20/stick but B is almost as good for $9, suddenly A is not worth it. If all cigars were free then I'm sure no one would have a problem smoking Opus X.

Ps. I haven't had the chance to experience one yet.
