Pronunciations?

Dumb, but serious question:
I always assumed Opus X is prounounced Opus "ex"
I have a friend who says it's Opus "ten"
Who's right?

What about partagas? Is it par ta gas or par ta ga with the s being silent?

I have always understood it to be Opus X. I don't know, though. As far as the pronunciation of Partagas, the s is not silent. I can only think of the H being silent.
Par - ta - gas

opus x is opus ex.....5 vegas is cinco vegas....

i've always heard the partagas sales people pronounce it par-ta-gas......though i've heard the cuban pronounciation is a little different...
