Opus X "A"

[CoventryCat86]

Tonight I finally fired up one of the "A" size Opus X that EmoDx was nice enough to arrange a group buy for a few of us last month. These cigars are 9 1/4" long with a ring of 48.

Construction: Almost perfect construction and appearance
Pre light draw: A nice "Havana-like" draw, not too firm yet not too loose.
Burn: Very even burning cigar until the last three inches or so where it didn't want to stay lit. I actually did not finish this cigar.
Taste: This cigar was milder than all the other Opus X's I've smoked but was a very pleasant smoke. If these were as strong as the regular Opus X, they might be too strong due to the size of this cigar.
Finish: I didn't finish it I tossed it with about 2 1/2" left.
Cost: These cigars average about $30.00 which make them pretty pricey :0

Overall this was a very good cigar, my problem with not finishing it may have been attirbuted to the fact I was distracted watching the end of the Illinois/Arizona basketball game (what a fantastic finish for the Illini :thumbs: :thumbs: ) and kicking some a$$ in set back with some of my high school buddies and my brother,
On a cA rating scale, I would give this cigar a

91

My least favorite Opus, only because they are relatively mild (for an Opus). Still, nice sticks.

Nice review Bill. Sounds like a great smoke. Too bad the finish didn't quite match up with the outstanding finish of that game. For AZ to be up by 15 and not finish the job must be heartbreaking to their fans.

I had one of these a few months ago...a friend brought a couple by after he'd sold five cars in one day to celebrate. We fired them up with a bottle of makers mark... For certain, it was the most mild opus I've had...but it was still pretty awesome. Plus, how many smokes out there keep going for two hours????

After seeing Moki's tongue i dont think so.

As far as the opus A. got one and decided i want it old before it catches fire.
