Opus X Dbl Corona 2004 Review

[Dgar]

I was at a friends this past Sat, and after I smoked an Ashton VSG. my friend hands me an Opus X Dbl corona from 2004. Well I was really looking forward to this cigar but after lighting it all I could taste was leather, no spice. I told my friend it was like smoking a saddle.

The construction and burn was great, but the flavor left me wanting for more. I've smoked a few Opus , although not a lot, and this was the first one that just left me going eh not that special. I may smoke a few more I have resting, I have Opus from a few months to a few years old, the last opus I smoked was about twelve months old, and I enjoyed it much more.

What a bummer, a 4 year old opus that was just Okay, not bad, but just okay.

That's a bummer - I find that some days my palate is off and cigars I have smoked and really liked don't taste "right". Then I'll smoke one on a different day and it tastes "right". I have only smoked one X and enjoyed it. Just keep smoking them till they behave!
