I've said this before - but this is just a reminder. I'll be breaking BOTL over time in order to get it into a far better place. Just be patient if you can't reach us! We'll be back
Great introduction! When I first started smoking cigars seriously I was a big fan of many of the cigars that you mentioned. Nothing wrong with any of them. My tastes have changed over the years and yours may too. Or maybe not. The key is to smoke what you like and enjoy this wonderful hobby that we all share and don't let anyone else's opinion get in the way of that.
I smoked an Opus X not long ago that was just "meh." Smoked another from the very same order a few weeks later and it was phenomenal. Sometimes, your palate likes to play games with your brain...
