Region D: Rnd 1: (1) Opus X vs. (16) LGC

[mikejh-cl]

The 64 NC Cigar Tournament Continues, Hoo-Ray!

Basic Rules:
1. Voting for the "better" cigar of the two, why is up to you, list your reasons, smoke one or both, post up a short review maybe. The only condition is that its not based on how much the cigar costs.

2. I decided that any cigar that has multiple versions such as Olde World Corojo and Maduro or Edge Maduro, Corojo and Sumatra will just be included together, so you are considering all of the lines when you vote for the Edge or the Olde World.

3. Each Region will have its first round one at a time and then we'll proceed with the second round each region one at a time.

4. All cigars are seeded 1-16 per region, you'll see those numbers by each cigar during the contest.

5. Very limited cigars such as AF Anejos and Ashton ESGs were not included.

6. The voting for each matchup will be open for a week
Have Fun!!!

FF Opus X is one my all time favorites.

With some age and care you can surely have a sublime Opus X smoking experience

[Lok17]

This should be a slaughter!

[chinomalo]

This was kinda easy, but the LGC Reservas are still good though..

this is gospel, if you can spare the time 2 Year should be a law for opus's to marinate.........Something happens in that time because they turn into some special........

i have a 2005, and another x. i can't bring myself to smoke them. i just look at them. they are too pretty to smoke. i found plume on the newer x. that was the surefire sign that i probably will never be able to bring myself to cut their heads off.

i've said it before. i'll say it again. the gloria's have a cigar heritage that is unrivaled. their linneage speaks for itself. in the days when labels pop up out of nowhere and leave without recognition it is nice to see that the glorias retain their flavor profile and reputation.

Matt ,I could not have said that any better myself about the La Gloria Cubana's. Excellent company

[smokinj]

As much as I love OpusX, LGC's get my vote

[smokinj]

Accually,I really can't believe the LGC's are a 16 seed??Much,much better than that

[Webmeister]

I am not a big Opus fan, but I do love my LGC (especially the Serie R) - this was an easy one...

[mikejh-cl]

sorry but this isnt for all LGC, just the regular line

<shakes head> You realize that they are cigars, right? Their whole purpose is to be smoked.

If you just want to look at them, take a picture of them then send them to me and I'll smoke them.
