Fuent Fuente Opus X

[TJCoro]

And the is no Santa the Clause!

Great cigar by the way, the Anejo kicks the ass of the bland over hyped over priced Opus X range

They're the same blend aren't they? Except for a differing wrapper?

Haha! Don't be concerned with se?or CIV's (Cohiba IV) comments. He's an emotional, passionate hombre and sometimes that passions goes to his head - both big and small!

As for your questions - It's always been my understanding that the Opus X and the Anejo share the same innards, just different wrappers.

But having said that, based on my limited experience with these fine NCs, the quality of the two can vary quite a bit from year to year - like fine wine - some years are excellent and some years not so much. I submit that se?or CIV's "kick ass" comment is based on a comparison of sticks from two different years.

NC Goodness!

I have an Anejo 55 in my humi I have no desire to reach for, anyone want it, pm me a trade

If your #55 (fifty-five) is anything like the one I enjoyed last night, you should fetch a very nice puro in exchange.

The Anejo Shark is one I keep meaning to try since someone posted about it here a few months ago.

Come to think of it....

Know what! Now that you mention it....I think there's a Anejo Shark resting comfotably in don TJ's massive unit. I think I'll go liberate it from storage and pair it with a jigger or two of fine Havana Club Rum.

Thanks for the mind jog, se?or VDGuy! You're the best!

UPDATE: My mistake....it was a Anejo #55. Smoking it anyway! Cheers!

I see....

The rule: Non cubans don't need aged
The exception that prove it: Opus X

Ahhh, got it...an exception TO the rule.

I haven't really smoked that many to be honest so can't really say one way or the other. A somewhat less expensive alternative which I have smoked many times is the cousin to the Opus X - the Anejo. Same guts as the Opus X with a differnt wrapper.


Boy, Bag Boy

Yes no problem there.

Cheers Tommy. As you are in Reading, we should meet up for a smoke sometime soon if you are interested buddy

Cgars Ltd Tommy. Everything I have been sent by Mitchell, Michelle and the rest of the team has been beyond approach....

Yes no problem there.

[Sligub]

Ummm, exception that proves what rule? I'm confused.

Cornfucius Say.

I agree, but the Opus is the exception that proves the rule

Hmmm? Can't remember the last time (if ever) I came across an NC that needed to be aged before smoking. NC are built to hit the ground running!
