I had a Super Beli today that tasted like burning plastic. Could have been the situation, I know my taste buds aren't the most refined.

I'd think it'd be the parejo sizes, but I'm just wondering.

Perhaps moki can chime in.
 
Can't answer your question but I pulled a piece of popypropylene bailing twine out of a puros indios once. Had I smoked that one I would have probably found the same flavor.

And they overcharged you for that cigar!!! :0
 
You know, I did wonder for a moment if a scrap of plastic had made it in there, but I was in a cigar store, so I couldn't really unravel it and try to find out.
 
I've seen a few different sizes of counterfeit Opus... even "A"s in a coffin. They make 'em in the DR, Mexico, and elsewhere. Unless you're actually in one of these countries though, it's not too likely you'll run across them.

Odds are there was just something wrong with the Opus. Prestone, perhaps? :)

No I didn't buy it at that store.
 
I had a problen with a Super Beli about 2 wks ago. But it just tasted flat...not really much of anything...not plastic. BUt try another from him and see what happens...the others from the same bunch taste great! So it could have just been a bad one. Let's hope so and not that the Opus X quality is now going down-hill.

The Opus X PrestoneX is a No. 4 size (5.1875 x 43), Moki.

Lumpy's plastic injected Super Beli is something different. A review may be necessary. :thumbs:
 
If you smoke the Opus with the wrapper still on, will it taste like plastic? I've not tried that...

They are made by evil gnomes at the south pole...nasty little creatures.

Yeah - but that doesn't explain how they got plastic in them. I don't think there's an over abundance of plastic at the south pole...

I am going to go with the cohibas esplendidos num.2

As for the plastic it was my understanding that they import it from Cuba via tunnels that run under the ocean. I mean you didn't have to point this out... I am at least smart enough to know it is too cold at the south pole to grow plastic...sheesh.
