So You Want A Cigar That Tastes Like An Opus

[Volusianator]

We all hear it all the time, "is there a cigar out there that tastes like an Opus but cheaper"? Well, last night I had a cigar that tasted like an Opus and only cost me $6! La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel Gorda. I've had plenty of these before and have never gotten this flavor out of them before, but dayumn, last night on the way home from work, I'd have sworn I was smoking an Opus, from the first light till I pitched it into a snow bank, I swore it was Opus.

Better run back and try another. Buy the box if it's just as good.

 

[Headbanger]

Thanks for the heads up there buddy.

(Note to self, stay away from LFD Double Ligero Chisel Gorda).

Love the LFD Chisel Maduro...might have to try this one now.

 

[Volusianator]

Trust me Mitch, the first smoke I light up Friday when I get to the lounge will the the above mentioned. If as good again, yep, I'm gettin' a box...at my discount!

I always found it ironic that the chisel "gorda" ("fat"), is thinner than the regular chisel. Amongst other vitolas as well. Back on topic: I'veyet to try that particular vitola, but having smoked regular chisels, chiselitos,... I'd say that even if I enjoy them thoroughly, they're not quite a cheap Opus. Then again, in this sort of things size does matter.

LOL @ Steve, I know you don't like the real full bodied stuff. But hey, this is a question that get's asked a lot!

Well and again, as I said in my OP, I've smoked several of these and have never gotten that flavor before either. So I do have to revisit this stick on Friday.

The new Opus Chisel... I like it. Wade check out the box and let us know if it's got a box code on it. Curious to see if a batch came out this way, a crop is good or if it's just a fluke. I'll try to hunt one down around here and take notes as well.

Did ye eat or drink something with it or before?

Nothing to eat as I just got off work, 2:30 am, but I did drink a Coke Zero, but I always drink that when I smoke. And when I don't smoke.

Well, let us know what ye think about the next one!

 

[njstone]

I have yet to smoke an LFD or an Opus, so I'd believe anything you told me, lol.

Yeah, too much ligero I get to feeling sick and get headaches. Too much pepper spice with Opus as well, just so over powering. It burns out the taste buds so bad I think I need a steel wool pad to make it right again.

 

[jwintosh]

hmmmmm, i might just have to try it!!

A tad too much bang to the head? :jitb:

Yes it was!

How long had this stick been aged? perhaps it was the age that made all the difference or it could be that Litto managed to blend one exactly like an Opus either way info on where the stick came from, its age, box code would help like Mitch said.
