opus x petite, reserve, or perfecto which two would you choose :-)

The Opus X Petite Lancero is a very strong, spicy, full flavored cigar. Smoke it too fast and it'll take you for a spin.

The Perfecto is more of a medium body cigar.

I don't know what the "Reserve" is.

It's always an interesting comparison to get the petite lancero and a larger cigar like the perfecto to see just how much difference can be made by the ring gauge difference.

I would have to agree with Adam.

Or better yet, if you can find em, any of the Angel's Share. :-) :-) :-) I normally can't place specific flavors in a cigar(just use general terms like earthy, spicy, etc) but I swear they taste like a banana cream pie. So good. We just got some in to the shop, so they should be out everywhere else.

Hey Lashun, Churchill's in Birmingham has the Opus X Angels Share in stock. I just smoked one after lunch. Very good, and surprisingly the prices at Churchill's weren't that bad.

I want a couple Bob...i love a good opus.....did you smoke it right away or did you throw it in the humi for a while
[Reply]

Smoked it right there, this afternoon in fact.

They're honestly better fresh. I tried to hide one away for a few months when they first came out and it had lost that sweetness I loved.
[Reply]

Thanks I'll see if there open Sunday and grab one

[Reply]

For what it's worth, I have many Opus-X in my stash. I have not bought any in at least 3 years. Most of what I have are 5 yo and older. I have 9 left that are from 1997, the first year of the official public release. 5 of those are my favorite Petite Lancero.

DaBear is correct, in part. Opus-X are generally very good when young, the spiciness if sweeter and the other flavors are brighter. I've always suggested they be smoked within the first 6 months. Afterward, they should be allowed to rest for at least 2 1/2 to 3 years, at which time they become very interesting smokes. Usually, very spicy and full of deep flavors. After 5 years or so, they become more mellow all around, however, they are still very full of subtle flavor notes.

I was mainly just speaking on the Angel's Shares. I've never been a big fan of regular Opus, especially when fresh(to me they need at least a few years of down time). That said, the last batch of A's we got were quite good, though I suspect they had been sitting in Fuente's warehouse for awhile as they still had the Destino al Siglo bands on em.
[Reply]

That is interesting. I have never had an Angel's Share. Actually, I really don't know very much at all, about any Opus releases from the last 3 or 4 years.
