hey folks, just got in off the porch after my first opus x..It was the robusto size, i am not sure if they have any fancy name for that, but it's beside the point.
first i have to say that it had a nice appearance, and looked well rolled. it started off smooth but with little flavor, and flowed into a nice light smoke, never any serious flavor, and although it had some kick, it only was noticable after the fact.
as these are an issue of debate for some, i chose to attempt the smoke with an open mind and have come to the conclusion that this particular opus is not something i would purchase or go out of my way to smoke unless i could give it a couple years rest. of course this is just one try out of a whole line of cigars, which i will continue to sample as passes and trades make them available. i did take one out of father t's pass yesterday and have it resting, probably for a while before i make another attempt at the opus mystique..
oh, and thanks very much to The Beast who did the legwork on getting this cigar and trading some smokes with me, he sent a very nice box, and underplayed what i would find there which was some trully great smokes. thank ya beast
