OK, cool. I really liked the flavor but it was a pain in the ass sitting there relighting the thing. If I was by myself I don't think it would have been a problem because I would have been taking more draws off of it, but since I was talking with some people I didn't as much as I would if by myself.

When you first by an Opus, do you always let them sit for a while before you smoke them?
