And to the previous Opius X reference...I was thinking about trying one. Any other thoughts on the Opius? Im willing to pay the money for a cigar with great flavor.

I like Opus, but I also like Sancho Panza's Extra Fuerte's (at about 1/4 the price)... I think the Opus carries a pretty steep price tag for a "decent" cigar. They're a good smoke, but unfortunately hard to find does not necessarily equate to the best out there. I think the Anejo's are a better smoke (and cheaper too, if you can find them). You should be seeing Anejo's hitting the stores pretty soon now (beacause of Christmas - they're the dark wrapper cigars with the red ribbon wrapped around the foot - if you can find them at a reasonable price, buy all you can get your hands on!!!). I also like the Diamond Crown Maximus - which are in the same price range as the Opus. To me they are a bit smoother (and sweeter) smoke. They're made with the same quality as the Opus, but for some reason not as hard to find.

The Davidoff that I think knocks socks off is the Anniversario line. Unfortunately, you're gonna pay for 'em (around $20 or more each). They are a very nice cigar, easier to get and better than the Opus (IMHO). The Millenium blends are nice too, if you like a stronger cigar and they are a bit cheaper than the Anniversario (Still in the mid teens, though).

But - if you're gonna look at Davidoff's - the AVO's and Griffin's are nice as well. Some of the taste profiles are very similar to Davidoff, at a much better price (I especially like the AVO Signature line). You're still talking the $8-15 range.
