Comments on: Cigar Review: Fuente Fuente Opus X No. 4 http://www.cigarcommand.com/wp02/reviews/fuente-fuente-opus-x-no-4/ The Latest Intel on the Cigar Wold Tue, 07 Feb 2012 02:18:34 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Andrew http://www.cigarcommand.com/wp02/reviews/fuente-fuente-opus-x-no-4/#comment-3108 Andrew Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:48:11 +0000 http://www.cigarcommand.com/wp02/?p=146#comment-3108 I just smoked my third, and final, Opus X last week. The three that I tried were spread out over the last 5 years. Not one of them had an even burn or a bearable taste. The spice is almost caustic. Every stick had to be re-lit at least 6 times. I managed about 2 inches of ash on the last cigar. I had maybe 3 puffs of pleasurable smoke until it went out. The Hemingway Short Story is one of my favorite cigars of all time. I expected a whole hell of a lot more out of the Opus X. Honestly, I wouldn't even pay $3 for one of these. I'm finished with them. I'm just glad to see that other people have had the same reaction.

The problem is, they can't be relied on to do so very often! The last one I lit up tarred up on me. Tar?! From an Opus X?! Madness! But I have to agree with your verdict, these cigars are generally not worth their price tag. Even at the $8.50 I paid for mine, I expect more. I generally buy these now because they trade so well at herfs. (And people seem to love getting 'em in cigar bombs!)

I could name meny smokes that are 1/3 the price of this cigar that I and many others enjoy to the nub. I have let em rest for 1 year, 6 months, etc.. no differnece to me.i have one sleeping that I will try in about another 6 months that making it 2 years of sleep. I agree that this cigar is well over arted. Would love to see a blind review on these smokes and put the padon up against it anytime.

Good trading material, other than that I don't smoke many of these. I’m with you. Good trading material, other than that I don’t smoke many of these.
