Re: gauging interest 4 an Opus Contest

I can honestly say I never have. Figured I would one day, but there are so many cigars at half the price that I really like. And I'm a little worried I'll smoke one and then doing something brash like buy an entire box.

Re: gauging interest 4 an Opus Contest

Fuentes are some of my favorite sticks. I love the Don Carlos line and the Anejo line the most! I even purchased the 2004 GOD OF FIRE humidor which was the initial release of the GOF. (I've got #14 of only 100 made)

But I can honestly say that the OPUS X is a bit of a mystery to me. I've smoked about a dozen of them in being purchased from different stores at different times over the past 4-5 years. Their flavor is very unique (somewhat like the GOD OF FIRE blend) but out of the 12 or so that I've had, I have had major problems with them. Almost all of them over the years have been seriously plugged where the draw was almost a migraine waiting to happen. Most of them burned very unevenly. Their construction was alright but not reflective of such an expensive cigar.

Probably the most overrated cigar I've ever come across.
