Do you agree?

YUM!!

... if price is not an issue!

Not mine. I spent a good amount of time in that 'mall' and didn't even go in Casa Fuente. I do like the restaurant nearby, however. Spent some time there with Rocky and the boys from RP.

Steve, I know you are a man of your word. But it's hard to beleive a man like yourself that knows so much about fine cigars, doesn't like an Opus X!

I don't like Opus X. It never really did anything for me, and in my opinion, the cigar has changed a lot over the past 5-7 years. It's really gone downhill in terms of flavor and consistency. I really don't think the cigar is worth the coin, hype, ratings, etc.

Not every cigar lover adores the Opus, blue.

I think they are good, but not so much better than a bunch of great sticks that they are worth the extra money.

And the CF bar/store in that mall is egregious with what they charge - but then again so is just about everything on that stretch of road

Where is the mall in question?

thnx.

^Vegas, Baby!

I love the smell of an Opus X pre-lit. Once lit, the whole thing goes downhill.

striplett02,

The "mall" in question is the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace.

I like Case Fuente,specially sitting near the escalator sipping a mojito and watching the eye candy.

The waitresses ain't too shabby either.

I agree w/Stevo about OpusX changing over the last 5years or so. X

There goes SvenR again, hatin' on the Fuentes. What'd they ever do to you, man?

I agree with Steve, the Opus line is not the same as it was when it first came out. I get a few here and there and age them and then share them with other fine BOTL who love them, but I would prefer an anejo. I had the opportunity to smoke one of the original release opus (I think from 1995) last year. The owner of a local B&M I always frequent brought a few in from his private stash. That was a mighty fine cigar.

too small

One correction .....

CF is the only place in that mall where cigar smoking is allowed. There is little that is as fun as sitting in the patio area near the escalator, torching up a good smoke, and watching the faces of the cigar haters scrunch in distaste as they smell the aroma. And I got to sit there thinking - "And there ain't a F%$#@%#$@'ing thing you can do about it"

12 bucks each for mojitos. Ouch. X has it, sit at the base of the escalator and enjoy.

richokeeffe - I enjoy cigars while sitting at the 'outside' tables of the retaurant across the way, on the second level.

Topped for the group about to go!

Wonder whats inside??
