Opus xXx 'Power Ranger'

[Mr Peat]

Upto this date, the Power Ranger is by far my favorite Opus X and that is even over hte BBMF I smoke. Not to take away from the BBMF, its a great smoke but the Power Ranger offered me what I was looking for in an Opus. From my experience, the initial taste seems like it will be a strong smoke, but not from my experience. Not strong whatsoever even on an empty stomach. But to make this fair since more dont know me here, I really dont have any taste buds nor a sense of smell. I can still appreciate a good smoke tho but cant really tell ya much about it. Loved the review tho. Makes me want to pull out an Opus and torch it right now.

Interesting. What did you think of the BBMF? Would you reccomend letting it age for a bit, or is it ready to go?

What did you mean by "Touch it up"?

Sorry, I meant touch it up with my lighter. As in it was burning unevenly.

I'm sure it will age nicely. I have another sitting in a locker since both my BBMF's was from 2005. It was a great smoke, but IMHO it didnt remind me of the Opus X taste that I've come to expect and appreciate. Again, I cant stress enough the BBMF is a great smoke and worth smoking at least 1 time. It really reminded me of a Don Carlos crossed with a Hemingway blend. Alot of flavors and what not. Just not like the other Opus I have smoked.

LOL!

Nothing cute about this cigar.
Powerhouse smoke with great flavor and spice.

Not for the timid.

First I want to say I apologize for "resurecting" an old thread, however, I am newbie material here.


I noticed he said "tar" buildup around the tip? Is that normal? I had a perfection X yesterday and noted no tar. Also have never noticed tar buildup unless I just never looked that closely.

Is this normal?

I am not sure why I noticed the tar on the tip. It could be that I didn't purge it partway through like I normally do to get rid of the buildup. I just assumed that becasue the XXX was a stronger blend, that there would be more tar.

I searched and searched..what is "purging" a cigar.
