Was at the local B&M yesterday and saw he had three boxes of OpusX cigars out (each diff size, ranged from $10 to $15). I have yet to have one so of course I grabbed one up with the other couple singles that interested me.
I was disappointed in the cigar to say the least. There seems to be alot of hype around them, at the store he even said they have been a big seller and the "Mercedes of cigars". So much so that apparently the store thats about twice as far for me (in the nearest big city) that has three walkins vs one will limit each person to 1 cigar.
Maybe I just was unlucky or wasnt in the mood for the cigar but it didnt seem to have much good flavor... it had power but it seemed like it was a giant spice stick and wasn't mixed with any smooth creamy flavours.
On the bright side it was extremely well constructed and had a perfect burn with a strong ash.
Anyone else share this experience or am I the first one to throw a stone at the mighty Opus X?
