Review Notes: Every now and then I get a group of my friends together and smoke some stogies. I was especially curious about the buzz about this smoke, and so certain that such a large number of people couldn't be wrong, that I decided to smoke this guy instead of the Trinidad Robusto Extras and Cohiba Esplendidos that I gave everyone else. This cigar is okay...but compared to great cigars, it unfortunately is incapable of holding its own. I was a fool not to put this beast out and jump in the group with a Cohiba...for $18, all I can say is "maybe next time I won't be so damned stupid".

Review Notes: I received these smokes as a gift from my wife. She thinks they smell good right out the box. Actually had to take it from under her nose to smoke one. The smell is not the only thing that was good, the spicey flavor is wonderful. The construction is top notch with a smooth draw and a decent burn. This stick was so good that I stayed outside (have elderly parents living with us who don't like the smoke) freezing to finish all of this cigar. The cost of this cigar...oh well, you get what you pay for and this one is worth it.

Review Notes: Enjoyed a Reserva d' Chateau today while completing a one day round trip from Northern VT to NYC. Aside from uneven burn problems most likely due to windows and moon roof open the cigar brings everything it has in an enjoyable one a half to 2 hour package. Expensive we know but absolutely worth the experience

Review Notes: This cigar is simply amazing. It is great out of the box with a spicy bite as you put the tip to your lips and tounge. I would stay away from a v-cutter as the draw towards the end of the smoke tends to be a bit charry. The flavors are rounded, smooth, robust, and filling. You should eat before smoking this cigar. I've smoked nearly 40 of these now and just tapped into my 4 year stash. They are simply amazing. This said, out of the box they are delightful as well.

Review Notes: I just received a box of 32 of these from an authorized dealer...for retail! (no foolin'!) I was, however, on a waitlist for 13 months, but what a total treat. The construction is perfect, wrappers like glove leather, and believe me, this is about as full-flavored as I want to go. More than even, say, a Bolivar Belicosos Finos, one of my favorite cigars. These babies will flat out sneak up and kick you in the back of the head! The are a spice BOMB, with the bean notes so pronounced, and even though they feel hard as a rock, they draw volumes with ease. There is no wonder at all that Opus X are the most sought after cigars currently being sold, and hopefully I won't have to wait another year for a chance at another box of this or any other Opus vitola. DO whatever it takes to get one of these, and make sure they're authenmtic, and you'll understand immediately what all the fuss is. Don't belive the reviews here that say this is a piece of garbage cigar, and the like, they probably smoked a counterfeit.
