Hey;

I have had Opus X cigars right from the Cigar Shop and a few with 8-14 months aging. The aged ones were definitly more mellow and smooth. Personally I would skip the Opus X's altogether. They are good, but there is a lot better out there. Most Punch cigars are good and I like a lot of the Romeo Y Julieta's. (And they are both a hell of a lot cheeper!)

Everyone's tastes are different though, Enjoy.
