About ten years ago, when I first got into cigars, and had only been smoking for about two months, I asked my buddy, who had been smoking for over thirty years, if he was going to the gallows and could only smoke one last cigar, which would it be.
Without hesitation, he said . . . An Opus X.
So I went out and bought two for myself.
Needless to say, it kicked my azz and turned me green. I almost threw up.
I chalked it up to my inexperienced palate and left it at that.
About a year later, I figured it was time to check out the second one I bought, figuring my palate had matured somewhat and also the cigar now had a year's humi time on it. Same thing . . . it turned me green once again.
Have not been back to the Opus since.
BUT I have a Lost City that I got from surfish a few years ago at mjtoal's CigarBQ, that has been resting.
MAYBE it's time to revisit Opusville.
