smoked my first one today. a robusto. very harsh at first and didnt taste very well. after about 1/2 inch of the cigar it started to taste great. it actually turned ou to be a great cigar. i payed 10.50 not bad price considering the cigar but it is definately a special occasion cigar

What was your special occasion?

Every day is a special occasion...enjoy them in moderation. I stopped letting my "better half" fetch my cigars because she always picked the "one with the pretty band."

Opus X has a pretty band...

My special occasion was that i recieved 4 of them so i would try one to see what the big deal is with them. i enjoy a padron 2000 just as much real smooth

I was in my local shop today and she had just opened a box of the new Double Corana. That is a huge Cigar! They are going for $19 ea. when the Robusto is going for $10. I passed since I just stocked up on all the other sizes and it just looked like too much cigar.

I was given an opus x,smoked it & thought it was a little hard to keep lit & wasnt as good as I had really hoped it would be. My favorite so far is a Padron Anniversare Maduro. Mag
