[newb review]

Well, I had one sitting in my humi and after a rough day at work I decided to burn it. Little did I know what I was getting myself into...

I pulled it out and it had that typical Opus Pre-light aroma. I was going for a short walk so I figured it would be perfect. So small...almost 'cute' looking. I did not suspect a thing as I clipped it cleanly. Took a draw and WOW...I could taste the spice. I got outside and lit it with my trusty zippo with z-light insert and took a draw. Nice. I knew I was in for a treat. Started walking. Took another couple draws and was suprised at the amount of smoke this petit beli could produce. Very nice draw...almost perfect. As it burned down I had to touch it up more than a few times before the band. Now I am reading that I should let it rest outside of the humi for a couple hours before smoking to cure the burn problems. Typical Fuente ash. Didn't fall until the band. As I neared the end I noticed a lot of tar buildup in the tip. I should have purged it a little more, but it was still managable. It didn't affect it too badly. When I finally finished it I was about a block away from home. Damn, it was just starting to hit me. I floated the rest of the way home. It was a truely amazing smoke. This is the first smoke I had that I could actually pick out the individual flavors and tastes. Although I couldn't for the life of me identify them, I could definately differentiate. Overall great smoke. Defiantely knocked me on my ass. I was expecting strong, but this completely blew the LFD double ligero I had last week out of the water. Great smoke, and defiantely worth the MSRP.
