Growing too fast.
With all the talk of Opus Loren has been doing, I decided I would fire up this Double Robusto that I received from Charley a couple years ago. I grabbed a Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier Dark out the fridge and headed under the walnut tree with my baby girl. The foot had slight damage from being in the bottom of a desktop all this time, however nothing major, The medium brow wrapper was smooth with one prominent vein, and had noticeable oil. It had a good weight in the hand, was firm when squeezed, and after punching the cap I found the draw perfect with a slightly musty but good tobacco taste.
After popping the cap on the beer, pouring a glass, and taking a long pull, I began torching the foot on the Opus. Volumes of smoke poured from the forming embers and smelled incredibly good as it wafted up to my nostrils. After getting a good burn going, I took a couple puffs and then a long draw and found the smoke to be a mild to almost medium strength with a small amount of spice on the back of the tongue and throat. It had a very light body, feathery came to mind, and tasted of buttery bread and toasted nuts with a delicious, long finish.
A third in and the burn is sharp with a whitish gray ash forming that held well until tapped off. The cigar began to split right after about an inch in, however it caused no issues with smoking. Halfway in and the smoke was now a good medium in strength with rich, delicious flavor that lasted well after exhaling slowly. Tons of smoke was being produced.
Towards the final third, the cigar began to get a bit hot with a slight bitterness showing up, however flavors were still good enough. The burn remained sharp with a white ash and medium strength smoke flowed well through the perfect draw. Although it was slightly hot, the finish remained long on the palate with the smoke continuing to be light and fluffy. This was an excellent cigar (and didn’t whoop my butt at all).
