I'm speculating, mind you, but I'd have to say primarily because of the difficulty and yield problems with growing that type of wrapper in the Dominican Republic. The filler is not a problem.

Nothing to be afraid of. Just smoke and enjoy. Some underpaid roller slaved over that cigar, risking his fingers handling a sharp chaveta, carefully bunching, binding, and wrapping quality perfection that ultimately found its way to your humidor. To not smoke is an insult to the roller. So take one for the team and start puffing.

God I have to go out and get some of these cigars so I can try them! So much fascination with them. I love my Padron 64 and 26s so I gotta give these a try! None of my B&Ms carry them out here, I think Tinderbox in Summerlin area of Las Vegas carries some of those as well as the Ashton ESG. I hope he still has some of both so I can pick up a few of each!
Horde away fellas, I'm pretty much becoming the same with my Padron 26 Maduros. I find it difficult to light one up, but not going to have a problem doing it after dinner on Thanksgiving!

I have not fallen under the Opus spell. Frankly, I just don't find them to be any better than the regular line of Fuente cigars, those with the green strip on the band. I like the regular line. But I can't justify paying 2-3 times more for a cigar that just doesn't taste 2-3 times better.
If you guys enjoy them that much, have at it! :thumbs:
You guys can have my share.
I share your opinion Bryan :thumbs:
My thoughts exactly. You can have my share of OpusX as well.I have not fallen under the Opus spell.

Hey there,
I'd have to take a stab at this phenomena and say that its perhaps due to the perceived rarity of such cigars. Being as they come out several times a year, and that everyone talks about them, this sometimes carries a tag of "must have" even though you don't smoke them. Perhaps its like speculating was in the comic book market place some 12 years ago ("hey, I don't need that issue but lots of people have been looking for it, and it COULD be quite a premium in the future, so I best get my own stash!").
Don't worry, I do the same thing! hahaha Though I have to admit that I smoke them a LOT more now than I did back a year or so ago. The first Opus I had was a Power Ranger xXx and, without eating, it made the world spin and my stomach wretch! I now enjoy them after eating and digesting an hour or so and they aren't nearly as bad anymore; I quite like their flavor and feel that they are climbing up my top 5 favorite non-ISOM smoke list a bit.
Nuff said,
Darren

I have no problem torching a Opus. None whatsoever. In fact, I smoked a Petit Lancero with like 5 years of age on it today. Followed it up with a Perfecxion X and to top it off I pulled out a Opus A and torched that bad boy. So no, I have no problem torching any Opus X I get my hands on. I think I've smoked 3 boxes+ since August 2006. :love:
I just had a Opus X shakes the other day and had to make up for the lack of stock I have at home. Yes, I love Opus X so much i had to get a locker at the B&M shop 83 miles away so I can get the stash safe from myself. :laugh:

I will second that and hopefully both of us can get some this release. Local places have not had #5's in the last few shipments. :thumbs:

that opus you sent me was amazing. I dont know if its just me but i will smoke 10 opuses and like them all but one will be absolutely mind blowing. If thats due to age i may have to buy some boxes and sit for a couple years.
