Kinda feel the same. They are great cigars, but the way people hype them up seems like they would be the greatest cigar ever made. If they are worth the money or not, I'm not sure. Quality comes at a price. They are great cigars, but worth that much? Not sure.

There are plenty of other cigars out there at much better values.

I last had an Opus X cigar in the 90's, and can not remember what I thought at the time other than good, but awfully pricey. I also guess that they are somewhat better today than then, since the Fuente's have been growing their fields for longer perfecting the methodology.

My plan has been to acquire a few Opus X and Anejo's. The stalemate of the poll shows that is a good plan.

Opus is catching up, I have been thinking about this a lot since the post, and my conclusion has to be - I like both just depends on which I'm in the mood for

I'll take the Opus X as number one. It is like having a favorite son. You love them both

Opus by a close margin. In my opinion it is one of the top three cigars ever blended. Especially aged a year or better...it is damn near perfection!

I thinks its interesting that even though the opus and anejo lines are so similar the box for the opus are super heavy duty where as the anejo are just the typical quality used for their don carlos and hemmingway lines, nothing too special. Anejo gets my vote.

I tried the Anejo last week sometime. I thought it was an okay cigar. I'd probably smoke one again though.

But right now, the Opus X wins by a longshot in my book.

Talk about stumbling on to treasure.

If I remember right the Anejo' was made because most of the Opus X wrapper was destroyed in a hurricane.

Now it seems to be in more demand than the Opus X.

I like them both. I just think that they are just way overpriced. I usually get 4 or 5 of each every year.

I am with both of you. I always have 3 or 4 in the box and I do enjoy them, but for $15-$20/stick, there are a lot of other options. Maybe I don't have the palete yet. They are definitely enjoyable, but I can get others for almost half that I enjoy just as much. That being said, I always have some - it much be a status thing in the back of my mind...

Never had a anejo, but I'll keep my eye out for them at the 1 B&M that carries the broad AF line near me. They have the DC maximus that was ~$15/stick and I passed yesterday thinking that was too much. That was a mistake since I have never had that either. Next time I will put one on the tray.

What I saw on line about the Anejo filler and biner was that it was a combination of opus x, Don Carlos and hemming way.
