I was lucky enough to find a few last week, and bought a Robusto and ???, forgot the name(7" and about a 46 ring). They were reasonably priced and limited to two per customer.

The Robusto was fantastic, flavorful and full bodied...just the way I like'em. I'm saving the other for a special occasion.

Just wondering what kinds of Opus X you tried and your favorites!!!!

I like 'em all... but difficult to justify the price they can get.

Smoked my first and last Opus X two weeks ago.

A decent smoke if it was half the price. Perhaps my expectations were too high.

To me, a far better smoke is the AF Hemingway Classic (Maduro, please!). Double Corona, 7"/48 gauge, w/ a maduro wrapper, Take me home, country roads!!!

My favorite OpusX is the one that's gifted to me. I'll be damned if I buy one. There's MUCH better available for the money. Just my opinion 🙂

I have purchased 1 Opus in my life and that was to trade it to smithbw. All the others have been trades or gifts. I hear ya on the prices.

I have seen a wide range of prices, I paid $12-$15 each. It is expensive but better than some of the prices I've seen at some of the online sites, $22-$30 each.

Maybe I'll pick up a few for trade!

Never had an Opus I didn't like. I've got a humi full of about 30+ of them from the smallest to the Forbidden-X.

Not all were pricey, none were cheap, some were gifts, but all are exceptional.

Are they worth the money - only if you like em! They're too spicey or complex for some tastes. Not for the timid or inexperienced palate. They give you a nice buzz though!!

But hey - life's too short to smoke cheap cigars!!

I'd go along with I.am.Steve... but I have bought several and in the past but can't honestly remember which was the best... which probably means they were not that much remarkable to me...
