Opus X #4 - Live Review

Arturo Fuente Opus X #4
Live review

I lit this at about 5:20 and it's taken this long to get connected!

I'm sitting in the parking lot of the British beer company in Framingham waiting for the Pats kickoff!

 

[Fourtotheflush]

I'm smokin this one rott(b&m).

Lick on the cap I get some immediTe spice

Smell of barnyardy aged tobacco.

Cold draw doesn't give me much:
Draw is good / slightly loose

 

[Fourtotheflush]

First inch I get a little tunnel that makes the ash drop.
Requires a pretty good corrective light.

Flavors were "off" before the corrective light.

After the light they are much better!

Tons of smoke on the draw.
Aroma is GREAT!

Lots of pepper flavor and tingly spice.

Finish is long. I can only describe as earthy tobacco.

Ther is a hint of Walter Peyton (sweetness - yup)!

 

[Fourtotheflush]

2nd corrective light just past the first third mark.

I'm feeling a pretty good kick already from this one!

 

[Fourtotheflush]

This had some down time on it @ the b&m, but I'm feeling it's a little over in RH%, and that it's needs more down time. Like a year more! Good thing I picked up a couple more!

 

[Fourtotheflush]

The ash is falling in small clumps. Rather bothersome for my shoes!

 

[Fourtotheflush]

Flavors are much the same!

 

[Fourtotheflush]

Finished in just under an hour.

I wouldn't say I nubbed it but there wasn't much left.

This is definatly an after dinner cigar!

Try one!
Then let the other 4 sleep for a while!

Yeah thats what i was gonna do. They are much better with some age on them.

Great smoke. Let these nap a bit you'll be rewarded.

They are a good smoke, but Fuente's construction will never be up to par with the likes of Padron.

really? you have my address, that was so thoughtful of you!

 

[Docbp87]

Favorite size, but they definitely need age. The ones I have from this year are a little acidic right now.
