Cuban LE's look cheap by comparison

[westg]

They are bloody awful, packaging brilliant

The packaging on the Cuban LE boxes from 2019 is just a smidgon above D grade 👀

Since nobody asked for it, here is my opinion:

If it sells, it was properly priced.  
Certainly doesn’t mean I understand it.  A chicken nugget shaped like George Washington is $8,100.  Doesn’t mean I understand it.  The other day, I was at an auction and meaningless vase that opened at $50 sold for $45k.  I CERTAINLY had no clue but two dudes obviously did. 
 

I’ve never tried an Opus.  Heard they are good.  I know they are sought after.  I saw some guy wearing $300 embroidered True Religion jeans.  I thought “that’s insane.”  I’m sure that dude looked at my $300 mundane blah Japanese jeans and he thought, “what an idiot.”

A pass on most Opus Xs for my taste, strong flavour without substance or much evolution IMO.

However, completely different story with Casa Fuente Lanceros, and the rare Don Carlos lancero from Casa Fuente when you could still smoke in their in-mall terrace in Vegas. Those are "sell your firstborn for a box" good, to me.

Don Carlos has been my favorite AF line of cigars.  Hemingway's are fun when fresh.  Some of Opus smoke at a snail's pace.
