They are generally ****. The Blondies aren't bad with a Magic Hat #9, but for the most part they are like incense wrapped in a leaf. I used to play drums for this ****** Lars Teetens.... makes Acid knock off;s that for some reason are pretty popular. But to me cigars are like coffee..... I want a cup of good coffee not hazle nut butter crunch tooty fruity with a double "go **** yourse;f" I want good pure product. Cigar, Coffee, Wine and Weed .......

OpusX...

Scheiss!

Only 500 boxes of the exceedingly rare Fuente Fuente OpusX Opus22 collection are shipped each year. You get 22 of Fuente's most exclusive cigars, including some fascinating shapes and sizes. Prometheus and God of Fire give the net profits to charity, so spoil yourself rotten with a clean conscience!

$750 for 22 cigars.

I heard about them on cigaraficionado.com and have wanted one ever since. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for God of Fire too but the closest cigar shop is Cigar Express. I'm going to the Leaf and Bean in the Strip District hopefully tomorrow or Saturday. Maybe they'll have a good selection.

they were alright... i havent had enough cigars to really judge, but they do have more of an effect than a regular cigar...

WICKED peaty scotch (that's what gives it the bitter, odd taste) Scotch is and of itself is an acquired taste. Mc Clellan's is well respected, the older the age the stronger the flavor. Single malts STRAIGHT from Scotland (like the Lag., are tough man) I started with single barrel burbons and progressed from there. As for the Opus X ? Had em .... still have 2 (torpedos, I don't like the roll but they were a gift from the aforementioned friend who has the cigar bar). Its kinda like a Rolex to me.... nice to say I have one but I wear my fossil more often lol . Like a status symbol. BTW go check it out if you are up this way ...
