  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

feel good,smells good,tobacco and,is that leather i smell? no way,not in an opus!


punched,torched,and houston,we have no problem!
strong tobacco taste,a little spice and coffee that tastes like...leather


a little cedar action joining the mix,it's getting kinda peppery.
such an easy draw,producing a boat load of smoke


1/3 in and settling in nicely. tobacco up front,pepper proud as can be, and coffee are still present. leather,if it was indeed leather,has faded. ash is light and fluffy


any oilers fans in the house?


1/2 way and coffee,cedar and pepper have caught up with the tobacco flavor.
they mix well together on every puff now.
excellent draw,nice even burn,cool smoke except on the retrohale,and then it's an eyeball spinner!


pepper has lightened up,cedar and tobacco are putting on a show,and i do believe the coffee is turning into cocoa...nice


3/4 in and i had to slip the band off.
coffee/cocoa are running neck and neck with with cedar/tobacco. pepper is still there



heading into the nub,looks like it's gonna be another good one.
kick,kick,kick says the spice. i ain't going without a fight shouts the cedar/tobacco.
not getting left behind either replies the coffee/cocoa. what a great cigar says i


an exciting cigar to smoke,full of adventure from start to finish!

thanks for reading,hope you enjoyed the review!

Thanks for the review and pics! Haven't had an opus in probably 3 years. Might be the time to pull the trigger on one again.

Appreciate your reviews, bud. Always enjoy reading them.

Thanks for the review, Ron.

I've smoked a couple of Opus X cigars and I've yet to be impressed (especially at their cost).

I know that Ron says Zilla has to work at the junkyard but I think he's probably off guarding the rest of Ron's FFOX stash!
Without a deterrent like Zilla I'm sure that someone would have robbed Ron for his Opus' by now. LOL :wink:

Keep the Opus reviews coming! I'm enjoying them thoroughly! :)
