Opus X Fuente Fuente

[Crawdad]

This cigar was a gift from JMMARICH from some time back.

And I must say it was a fantastic cigar. Excellent construction, burned very well, lots of smoke, and a super taste.

I give it a big thumbs up.

[sucol]

It's a great stick, for sure!

Well, these cigars have been a smash hit with the crowd that I hang out with, so on a very strong referral, I got one to try.......

It was smooth, great taste (kind of nutty, and woodsy(evergreen), and had a sweet aftertaste.

It was a booger to keep lit, it kept going out, even though I was pulling on it pretty hard.

This is a 2004 cigar, I bought it from a local shop (Grapevine), who had recently aquired a few boxes in an estate sale. They were aged perfectly, it smelled teriffic pre-light.

I made it 2/3 of the way through, and I had to let it go out. After I put it down, I got tingly all over, and I felt drunk (I quit drinking over a year ago). I'm still feeling woozy, and it's been nearly 2 hours since I set it down.

Mercy.

It affected me like no cigar ever has. Even the Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Maduro didn't make me feel this weird. :bigeyes:

My review brings to mind a Rodney Carrington tune: "She's more of a man, than I'll ever be"

PS - I'm going to try to finish that sucker tomorrow, I'll report back how it goes.

After sitting there for a while, he looked over at me and asked "Did it just get brighter in here?" LMAO. "No" He just grumbled something about that damn cigar kicking him in the nadds.

a few weeks back I went to the shop and had a DOn Carlos Robusto... I did well enough, but the game wasn't over yet


so I picked up a little AF SUn Grown.... I uh... had to "run home" about half way through, once home I just layed on the floor for about 20 or so minutes... F'd me up

Those Opus get the veteran smokers too!

Oh, it might not taste so good tomorrow

[jwintosh]

love them xxx'x!!

[RX2010]

I'm happy to report that the second time around, it didn't leave me rolling on the floor crying for mommy.

I enjoyed it while I grilled a couple of steaks for me and my brother. After dinner we each had a CAO Black. That was nice.


While the Opus X was enjoyable (in fact, it was damn good), however, the effect it had on me was not quite what I'm looking for in a cigar. I'll be careful who I recommend them to...:stretchgr

I miss Chuck (Crawdad) ... I hope he's doing well.

[cvm4]

And I thought he was back for a second!

[CigarChef]

I had my first Newyears Eve (a gift form WTJVJ) I found it to be a fantastic smoke that left me a little lightheaded. Because of the weather outside, my wife allowed be to smoke in the house. She commented on the aroma and called it pleasing. great smoke, wife approved, I got to get some more:thumbsup:

Has anyone seen him online elsewhere?

[cvm4]

Nope, MIA as far as I know.

[caudio51]

I tend to be hot and cold with Opus. This thread is warming me up, though. Perhaps I'll have to try one tonight. I haven't been in a nicotine comma in a while. I'll just strap on some scopolamine and hang on tight.

[tobby4]

and JMMARICH... i actually herfed with him one day...

[cvm4]

You saying he's missing? He's active over at CW. Lives on MS coast now.
