Even if you are new to the cigar world.. you have probably heard of the Opus X brand by Arturo Fuente. They were one of the first super premium cigars that I was introduced to by my cigar buddies.
The cigar maker, Fuente, makes several other lines of cigars but this one has a legendary mystique. They limit the quantity of boxes purchased by each retailer. Making them harder to find and driving up the price tag. I’m lucky enough to know a few local shops where they sell them at a reasonable price. Ol’ Times cigars in Casselberry always seems to have some in stock and are priced as competitive as anywhere. The Smoke that I enjoyed this weekend was a limited edition “Lost City” Opus X.
This cigar was a gift from a very good friend last year. I’ve had it sitting in my humidor waiting for the right opportunity to break it out. It just happens that the same friend was in town this weekend for a UCF football game. The weather was perfect and we had several hours to tailgate… What a perfect time to enjoy this amazing smoke. I’ve had a lot of different Opus over the years, but this one was extremely good. It was beautiful to look at and had a perfect draw. The initial taste was smooth but strong. The cigar burned slow and even, while the flavors continued to develop. I wish it only lasted longer. Which is always a great sign!
In conclusion… JK definitely recommends. It comes with a stiff price but it’s worth it for the serious smoker or a special event.
