Arturo Fuente OpusX Robusto

[whisky77]

I have been reading up on these and was considering getting some.The reviews i have read have been really good.

I was looking for some feedback on how everybody rates them.I`m afraid I am not up to speed on Dominican cigars at all.Have only seen them once in the UK.

I realise they are pricey for a non Cuban smoke, just wondered if they were worth the price tag.

Hey Mr77

I myself think the OpusX are over rated and very well advertised with a good band and thats it....

My mate Larry sent me one a while back and I have to say 'What a boring smoke' I was expecting loads of flavours and got bland....

Now I would say you need to smoke more than one cigar of the same brand to get a good indication on how good they are, and a mate got me a tin of three Opus X Fuente Fuente Robustos not lone ago, and I have to say 'bar a good cigar band' Not a lot to them... Don't get me wrong, they will do for a Bar Bee...but are no way worth the hype or the price..

But thats only my view mate...

I would spend my money on a Padron 1926 range any day or the A Fuente Anjeo...

I remember Giga tried the Opus Opus X Fuente etc etc or somesuch...basically it's very rare and much more expensive than your average Cuban cigar and he was a bit non-plussed....he said he'd rather have had a CC

The FFOX Big Boy!

Senor Whisky, Mr. IV makes some very good points, but bear in mind, he is one tough hombre to please!!

I have had a few of these over the years and found that the quility of the stogie and untimate pleasure can vary from year to year. I was gifted two FFOXs Perfections A in beautiful individual red wooden coffins 3 or 4 years ago and enjoyed it very much. I still have one in my humi resting comfortably. Having said that, I have had some produced in later years that were not as good and, quite frankly, not worth the price.



Now, as a cheaper alternative, relatively speaking, you might consider the Anejo, which is the same cigar with a different wrapper. I tried one a few years ago and immediately searched out and purchase a box. The Anejo usually shows up around Christmas and hangs around for a few months. A google search might find a vendor with some in stock. Personally, I would look to the Anejo before the FFOX.

But you can decide for yourself, just try one before you buy a box.

IMO, a better choice at this time would be the A. Fuente God of Fire 05 or 06. I have smoked seveal of these recently and found them to be an excellent smoke.

I would never trust what TJ says. But I can't argue with him on this one.

...but then again... I think I'll disagree with him out of principle on this one.

(read: TJ seems to be always right; just like my wife)

When you're right...you're right

YOU'RE WRONG, MR. LARRY!!!

But you got your smilie right.


Names TJ, TJCoro, and senor Larry's wife sounds pretty cool!

Senor NicWing made me do it!

Thanks.

Appreciate the feedback guys.Perhaps the prudent thing to do would be to try and buy a few singles before committing to a box.

My curiosity is getting the better of me, so I better give them a try.

Save your $ .

[rokkitsci]

Cohiba is spot on!

I clearly remember my first Opus X: I was giddy with excitement at having finally been able to procure one of these expensive and oh-so-difficult to find stogies.

Meh.

No denying it's a good smoke, but for the price... there are just too many better cigars for less money. Both the Padron 1926 and the Anejo are two excellent examples.

The Opus is a good cigar with a GREAT publicity campaign.

(migh too sense)

I would agree that opus x are overated and over priced
I had one a few years back and kept it for ages before smoking and it was a real disaapointment.

Just didn't have that cubaness that I love

Wouldn't pay for another plenty more intersting smokes to spend money on
