I do not know that it is the flavor that changes based upon the way you draw. However, it may be that you are playing closer attention to things when you draw slower.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Thank you everyone I do note that too hard and too fast are bad. Maybe it is in my head that the flavors change that much

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Hey guys,
Seems to me that the "coolidors" don't have cedar lining for the most part. Is this important or not?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
I used coolers for a few years and just threw cedar spills (the cedar dividers in boxes) and a couple of cedar blocks. It's a bonus but Tom is correct. Not necessary.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
So whats the real purpose of cedar in a humidor anyway? I can't imagine it adds flavor, it holds humidity at the rate of most wood, it doesn't make cigar multiply. Im not convinced that it has benefit

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
It's very porous and absorbs and helps maintain humidity and it's a natural bug replant for many varmints. It can impart cedar flavors but not to the point of being unpleasant and we are all correct, it is not necessary.

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Might be doing one as I am forced to do something due to my inability to control myself on Cbid. I might just bite the bullet and get on of these. Anybody have one that has advice?

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Anyone know where to pick up decent priced Opus X? I am keen to try these as everyone raves about them but can't seem to find anything less than 26$/stick

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Tampasweethearts.com .....You have to call and see what they have in stock, they usually don't list the Opus and Anejo on the site. They sell 'em for MSRP.

Why are they sold out now? New Years? What is the ONE to try out of the Opus X?

Because Fuente only releases a limited number of them per year, usually twice a year. Most shops only get 2-4 boxes. The late-year release is typically around early-mid November and usually the places offering them at MSRP sell out before the December holidays. The ONE to try, hard to say, everyone is going to have their own opinion here, but I would say the "xXx" aka: Power Ranger, which is a short belicoso. It gives a good representation of the line without being overly "anything" and isn't so long a cigar that it bores you to tears. Last edited by T.G; 01-10-2012 at 12:59 AM. |

Re: Beginner Questions (Ask Them Here!)
Opus is released once per quarter. First is around March-April, second around June, third around late September early October and the fourth in late November/early December.
