Wrapper: Redish colorado wrapper. Smooth and silky feel to the wrapper
Prelight: The aroma of the wrapper is amazing. Sweet with a fermented essense, raisins maybe. Pure Opus.
Beginning: Good punch of spice right off the bat. Rich, meaty aroma, great nose. The oils are coming to the surface of the wrapper around the ash. Spice toned down about an inch in, and a woodiness came to the front. Good strength, but not too much. Raisin notes as well as sweetness
Middle: An earthiness has entered the picture. Very rich.
End: Much the same. Cubanesk earth and toasted nuts and balanced flavor.
Overall: An excellent cigar. Nicely aged tobacco. This flavor hits the sweet spot for me and is what I enjoy about Opus. Worth $60? I don't know, but worth $30 to $40 all day. If I had boxes of aged Opus maybe I would think differently. I am glad I was able to try this cigar.
