Opus X Perfecxion X - Review

[partifan]

Great flavors are there, and if you regularly smoke Tatuaje Cojonu, LFD, and Cain, the cigar isn't that strong. If you mainly smoke Cubans, not even the cazadore will touch this in strength.

Excellent review Aaron.Had a few of those myself and last year in November coming back from a cruise and driving back to Canada we stopped by Tampa Sweethearts and bought a few.Still have them in my humi.

Always look forward to my next Opus X. One of my favorite brands, Cuban or Non. I don't see the similarity to Cuban cigars in the least however. IMO Anejos can't hold a candle to Opus.

Speaking of the Fuente line...

Nommm.... Casa Fuente in a Rosado. Nice. The Magnum Rs are fantastic smokes.

BTW, in case you were wondering, the Casa Fuente cigars are a "tweaked" Opus X with a Cameroon wrapper.

I realize we all love cubans, but Fuente makes some awesome stuff. Mag R Rosados have a very nice flavor with a medium body, each Opus tastes a little different, nice sweetness from the Anejos.

Wanna smoke a strong cigar? Get a fresh Opus X Robusto. For whatever reason, they are powerhouses.

They are completely different cigars. Shows preference is everything.

Lito Gomez did a project where (i think he emulated) the opus x. The line is called LG, and it is a powerhouse. If you liked the strength, give that line a try. The pc made me almost pass out like the opus power ranger.

I prefer the Litto Gomez Small Batches over the LG line, however.

Casa Fuente cigars use to get me all hot and bothered. I still have a couple in my humidor. Since hanging out with FOH guys they have gone pretty much to the back of the line because of the lack of value for the smoke.

I still love me my Opus X's and my top of the line Davidoffs...

I agree.

I don't really care for strength, so aging to a bare minimum of 2-3 years is imperative for Opus X IMO. They will only get better.

I used to like the 2009 LG Chisel, in fact I pulled one out the other day and it was horrifically putrid. They must be getting stronger. Plugged as well. Go figure.

@Lisa...Yes CF cigars are top notch. Nothing to splurge on but I usually pick up one or two when visiting Casa Fuente.

So for those who haven't given these a try for fear of strength... yes, they are full bodied cigars, and have a bit of strength, but compared to the full bodied Nicaraguan cigars that are so popular in America right now. If you give the Opus a few years of down time they become even less potent nicotine wise.
