Today I just got my highly anticipated order from CI.... my Opus X sampler pack of four which I must say is THE sweetest, sweetest smelling, beautiful piece of tobacco I have ever seen or smelled (in my three orders I've placed so far) LOL , great construction, no flaws and it's almost bittersweet to have got them because it came in such a nice box and they look and smell too great to smoke with a clear conscience, and I will now have to get a hold of some more just so I won't feel so guilty to smoke these, now without even smoking them I see what all the fuss is about with these Opus X and I will be ordering some more in the very near future, if I can find some, which is almost impossible unless you wanna pay an arm and a leg RYJ, . I also got a few singles, some nice one's Cohiba, RP etc. but nothing that knocked me off my feet like the Opus.... again, such a sweet sweet piece of artwork, a collectors item almost..... am I just making too big a deal out of this?
I also got my Gurkha 20 cigar grab bag sampler, whiich they all were nice well constructed and smelled......GREAT!..... OK, OK... I AM LYING. Honestly I am really pissed, just about every stick is falling apart in some way, there are even a couple that look like they have some kind of black patches made of some kind of dark wrapper, a few caps fell off by just taking them out of the cellophane wrapper, a few were cracked at the head and a lot of the feet were peeled back, also found what looked like a couple of holes, and the smell, OMG!! the smell, I can't quite put my finger on it.... but you know how sweet, nice, and flavorful the Opus X smells? Just imagine the opposite, they all have some kind of dark powder or something on them, the smell is.... if I had to describe it, just SERIOUS.... a serious smell if that makes any sense, I guess the best comparison would be a dirty mop that dried out and was cut up and wrapped up in used toilet paper..... ok well maybe not the used toilet part, but it's is some kind of musty foreign smell that doesn't belong on a cigar. I can't stand the smell and wouldn't even think about smoking them, I have read some posts on here about Gurkha and how nasty they taste but I figured I would have to try for myself, has anyone else felt the same way about this?
