Opus xXx Double Corona

[CoventryCat86]

I have two of these sitting in the coolerdor and figured I'd light one up tonight.

Construction was perfect, burn was nearly perfect (better than the last few Opus' I've smoked) and the draw was pleasantly firm (but not too firm that you turn blue trying to suck on it). The taste of the wrapper is unique to the Opus line and this one was right on :thumbs:

I have to admit, I do enjoy the Opus flavor my problem is the cost (average cost is about $15.00) and availability of these cigars. But all that aside, this was a very nice cigar and without getting into a lot of exotic descriptions with comparisons to vegetation or shrubery (I am not very good at distingushing all the flavors that most cigar raters seem to be able to taste in the smoke), my overall rating would be:

91

We all know you only rate them that high because they come from the Dominican Republic. If they came from the Democratic Nation of Dominica you'd only give them a 67 or so. :sign: :sign: :sign:

This is a nice smoke -- what year was yours from, do you know, CC?

Hey, I wish they were cheaper too... but what can ya do?

You got it AVB, no Democrat cigars for me

Moki, I don't know what the year was, it was a cigar I either pulled out of a pass, traded for or received as a bomb. Lately, I've been keeping track of where I got my cigars from but I've had this one for a while and didn't have a clue where it came from.
