Default Re: Similar to Opus X?

Thanks for all the input!

The reason I asked is beacuse I was heading out to my local B&M's lounge today, I wanted to try something "similar" to the Opus. When I checked back, the only reply was the original one from Don Fernando. SInce my B&M had the Liga Privada #9, I tried that. It was $10. Which is considerably cheaper than the $20-30 I normally see for the Opus.

It was pretty good. Strong and spicy like the Opus, but it definetly wasn't anywhere close to as smooth or as rich and creamy. But it was a darn good cigar.

Thanks for the other recommendations too -- I'll try them out!

Bobarian: of course I know there's nothing like an Opus other than an Opus. Which is why I was looking for a cigar"somewhat reminiscent".
To use your analogy -- a $5 supermarket steak isn't going to compare to a Kobe, but maybe going to your local butcher and spending $25 on a nice quality ribeye, will satisfy you and get you as close as you need to be, without dropping $75 on a Kobe.
