The local shop here keeps their stuff very humid also, I asked them about it and they said its because the average customer does not have a humidor so they keep them wetter so they take longer to dry out, witch is better for the average customer.

great cigars.. but as CC already said. They come too wet from most shops.. let them rest at a decent rh 63-65% is my preference for a cple months and bam.....they will smoke wonderfully.. I am partial to ANejo's more so than the opus.. Well with the excpetion of the xXx...
Truckin' It
Just for clarification, this is a domestic Opus X, not a Cuban one... Do they make Cuban ones?... I wonder what a Cuban tastes like? ... ... Never had a non-domestic before. mmmmmm. ... ...

No, Opus X are only made in the Dominican Republic.

If you are really worried about it I'd be happy to store it in my humidor for you. You can just tell me when to smoke it I mean send it back.

I'd like to chime in on this.
I love opus x. I've heard of people not touching them for 4 or 5 years! I personally won't smoke the sungrown fuentes until they sit for atleast 6 months!
Aging opus is difficult for some, including me, because they are great cigars, although strong. If you age in the cello, I think it tends to keep the flavor more robust, and if you remove the cello, it tends to wear off after the months roll by, IMHO.
Opus isn't "hard to get" it's just people get to stingy with it, and then shops either limit it, and sell more to the usual customers OR gougers take nice people to the cleaners.
I recommend smoking one fresh, and then storing one for 6 months to a year. You'll see a difference.
Plus some burning issues have been due, in large part, to the extra oily wrappers these cigars have fresh out of the box. The longer it sits, the oils go into the cigar, and thus, making it tasty!
