Well, just back from a 3-day weekend in Vegas with my 2 younger brothers to celebrate the youngest's upcoming wedding. Thought I would pass on the cigar portion of the activities. We left on Thursday night from NYC. I started the weekend with an afternoon, post-lunch 1926 #6 natural…excellent...

Nice review, thanks. I am a big fan of the 26s as well. I had only been smoking the maduros until recently when I have really become hooked on the #6 natural. I think you are spot on with the difference in taste you noticed between the maduro and natural 26s; it is subtle, less rich and sweet as...

First of let me say how much I have enjoyed the hilarious, informative, instructional vitasea posts. I did not request a sample nor did I want one (and I certainly don't now, nor do I want any PMs viatsea), because I didn't think I was qualified enough to judge. As a newbie myself and one who...

Easter saw a Padron 1926 #6 Natural (incredible) Today will be visited by a Padron 1964 Monarca Maduro

Currently $3005 wiht all day left. This seems so silly that I wonder whether the majority of these bids are real or just attempts to drive the price by the seller.

You can get still these for $2000 without the auction straight on the net or at dealers. That's why to stop there IMO.

Just my 2 cents, but this looks to be a beautifully organized pass. Great P/T sheet and pass photo and terrific planning. Good luck with this and have fun.

I picked up a couple of Opus DVD sets and am wondering about the optimal storage of the 2 Forbidden X cigars in each pack. Are you experts laying these beauties to sleep in the glass tubes, meaning you are putting the sealed glass tubes directly in your humis or coolidors, or are you removing...

I read in the recent issue of Cigar Aficionado that the Davidoff Millenium Robusto is made with a slightly different blend than other Davidoff Milleniums so I purchased 1 and sparked it yesterday. This is a fantastic smoke. Beautiful appearance, silky wrapper, a few veins running down the side...

Nice reviews. Of all the 1964 and 1926 I have ever purchased or smoked, the only size of any that I have tried in non-Maduro is the 1926 #6. I find it a great stick, stronger with a more leathery taste than the #6 Maduro. Yet for all the greatness of the stick, the Maduro version wins hands...

Thanks for the great review...any tips anyone on where to pick up a set or two

Just a quick informal poll/sanity check to see if I am the only Northeast @#$hole standing outside in sub-freezing weather to herf as I am doing now . It's 18 degrees and I am trying to suck down a Opus Power Ranger as I write this and freeze. Anyone else?

I generally hover between 600-700 sticks distributed between 3 humis and a coolidor.

I smoked cigarettes for years. Quit 5 years ago. Picked up cigars about 2 years ago and have absolutely no desire for cigarettes anymore.

I was smoking a cigar OUTSIDE on a New York city STREET the other day and jackass walks up behind me with the fake coughing and comments about how my cigar stinks (BTW...it was an Opus so how could that stink anyway). I try to ignore the jackass but he actually comes up alongside me to complain...

Well this has certainly been an eye-opening experience and a lot of drama for my first pass experience. I want to thank Tex for what he said about my Millennium put. When I posted by original P/Ts I was sent a PM by a member who said he thought the P/Ts was generous and that "equal" was all we...

You konw I couldn't agree with you more. I've now tried this smoke (robusto) 3 times, primarily based ont he reviews and figuring I was missing something. Flavor and complexity are just not there IMHO. Yes construction is spot on but the stick does nothing for me.

Got a nice order in...good to deal with...thanks for the tip

Well this goes to demonstrate 2 truths: 1) My palate requires further refinement 2) Cherry Jell-O shots may not optimally enhance the aroma and taste of an Opus X Luckily I have 1 more set and I will try to hold on to it.

Thanks for the review CC...I've been meaning to try these and now I guess I will
