I finally broke down and smoked one of the three Opus Xs I have. No special occasion, just ready to give them a try.
Appearance: 5/5
This cigar was wrapped beautifully with a flawless leaf. No bumps, bruises or veins. This thing was immaculate.
Construction: 5/5
The construction on this Opus was truly special. The draw was great, I got a great even burn. No soft spots or cracks in the wrapper of any sort.
Flavor: 4/5
I thought the flavor was very good. A spicy kick from first light. The only reason I didn't give this a 5 is that it was fairly one-dimensional. That one dimension, however, was phenomenal in my opinion.
Value: 3/5
As far as value goes, it is a bit of a toss up. I could tell immediately from the cigar that I was smoking a high quality product. The construction and appearance were amazing. However, was the overall experience that much greater than other, cheaper cigars I have had? Maybe not.
Overall: 17/20
The Opus X was a great cigar in my opinion. A great experience that I am glad to have tried. Would I spend my free time seeking out any B&M to try and purchase these? Nope. But I could definitely tell that I was enjoying a premium product and that aspect of it was satisfactory. Overall, a spicy powerhouse (which I like in a cigar) that was flawlessly put together. Thanks for reading.
