Fuente Fuente Opus X

[sir-smokes-a-lot]

While I have had the privilage of smoking more than a few FFOXs, tonight's [or rather early morning's] experience was one of the most memorable.

My secret santa pack arrived yesterday, but I refrained from opening it until my classes were done for the semester [today]. Inside were yummy treats, including an Opus X. While a follower of the principal of letting cigars rest [from their trip] for a bit, this semster has been the best so far and I felt it needed a salute.

So I rescheduled hanging w/ the girfriend tonight and set out for a great smoke. Accompanying me were two cans of Coke [my fave. drink w/ a cigar], my CD player, Josheph J. Ellis' "His Excellency; George Wahington" [a very good read], and my cigar.
Tho it was quite cold and windy, forcing more than one relight, I was able to enjoy many pages of reading and an excellent cigar.

As always, the wrapper was dark and a little reddish, firm to the touch throughout and free of damage. The smoke was volumnous and full.
The coke did well to cool the tounge and enhance the relative strength and spice of the cigar.
It was everything one could wish from the Fuente's, full flavour, but not too strong, well rounded in style throughout, with that wonderful spicy kick to it slightly reminicent of quality Mexican food.

I must reccomend this as a brand to enjoy. While it is not the most affordable cigar out there, it is one worth every penny.

All in all, a perfect night [save the freezing of my fingers].

I've got an Opus X I'm letting age in the humi. I took it out of the cello wrapper and don't know if that was a good idea or not, but it seems to be an oily smoke. I've noticed a considerable change from when I bought it this summer. Is that what Opus does when it ages?

I saw one of these at a local cigar shop while Christmas shopping and my curiosity is now peaked. I'm going to have to pick one up for this weekends festivities

You are correct, they weren't there anymore ....... bummer. So I picked up a A. Fuente Anejo (Reserva Xtra Viejo). We'll see how it smokes

I went to a small herf last night. A guy pulled out a Power Ranger. He removed the cedar and you could actually see pools of oil on the wrapper. Enough oil was there to wipe off oil from the cigar to your finger. I don't know if the oil was from the cedar or the tobacco. I've never seen a cigar that oily.
