Okay, okay, photos are on my profile page now, I don't know how to post them to a message here.
As far as the review goes:
The cigar looked awesome out of the cello. Typical Prometheus/Fuente construction from their high end rollers. There wasn't much of an aroma from the un-lit cigar - but maybe that's just my nose. I cut the Double Robusto with my Xikar multi-tool. The cold draw was sweet, with a tinge of spice - very much like a God of Fire Double Robusto, or a Piramide, as well as the Don Carlos Edicion de Aniversarios. I lit it up with my Prometheus dual flame, and right away the flavors of aged Opus, God of Fire and Don Carlos came through. Some great subtle spice, but really pronounced sweetness and cedar flavors and aromas. The smoke smelled of cinnamon and cedar throughout the burn. As the second third came into existence, the horsepower really ramped up a notch. The spice kicked up, the sweetness moved to the background, this one reminded me of a fresh OpusX - one that needed another 6 months (but what would happen to the first third if it was aged for awhile longer?). In the final third the cigar got a little bitter every 3rd puff or so. I may have smoked it too fast, or it may have been because the wrapper was glued a little to the band, and as I removed the band, the wrapper blew - so I may have tasted a little too much binder. I had to put it down with a little over an inch to go.
The burn was perfect throughout the smoke, the aroma was typical Cameroon sweetness with the Dominican spiciness and cinnamon. This was a great smoke - definitely a must buy for Opus fans, and for those who aren't, or who only get them when they can, I would suggest buying 2-4 and smoking 1, aging the rest and enjoying them some other time. This cigar won't knock you out like a typical Opus can do to some people, so don't be afraid of that if you don't smoke them (although, this is only based on 1 cigar, from a guy who's smoked Opus for 6 years, and smokes daily).
Based on the fact that this cigar will end up being approximately $28-30, it's obviously a special occasion smoke - but realize this will only be available this fall, and will be gone forever - I would give it a 93/100.
