    Smile Best OpusX

    Presently attempting to smoke as many from the line as I can. So far, Petite Lancero(TY Guado), XXX and Fuente Fuente. PL was by far the best so far. What do you guys like and dis-like? Why? Thanks

    Have not been able to swing by the stores lately. Hopefully gonna get by there before they close during my lunch break again.

    The #4 was mighty nice!

    Opus X perfection X is my fav. I believe it is the same length as the PL with a larger ring gauge.

    I prefer the Lancero from the Prometheaus set over all of them followed up by the Power Ranger out of them all and I have the entire line of Opus X from the regular line.

    An interesting question. I like the Reserva D'Chateau the best however, the "best" Opus X depends on what you're in the mood for at the time. If you're in the mood for a STRONG Opus X, then go with the Perfecxion #4 or #5. If you want to smoke an Opus X BUT you're not in the mood for one that will knock you on your butt, then smoke one of the bigger ones like a Reserva D'Chateau or a Double Corona.

    The Fuente Fuente is also a good one but fairly strong. I don't like the xXx aka "Power Rangers" or the Belicosos.

    The "A" is a very nice, milder Opus X which smokes very nicely. Those are a special treat BUT they are probably the mildest of the whole line.

    Like CC said, really depends on the mood.

    I prefer the reserva... or the DCs.

    The Lancero that comes with the tubed set is nice as well, but pricy.



    I am looking forward to seeing how the BBMF smokes when I burn it in about a year and a half.

    I absolutely love the Petit Lancero - but I have to be in the mood for it. I agree with everyone else - it depends on whether you want to be knocked on your butt, or want a nice pleasant smoke - no matter what, though - Opus has a flavor profile that is very unique - no doubt...

    Now the next question - which of the Anejo line is the best... I actually prefer that line over the Opus most times. The spiciness of the Opus filler, with the sweetness of the Anejo maduro wrapper. And, if given the time, I love the 49's and 48's - both are incredible cigars!!!

    I like the 49's followed by the 55's.

    I think every thing Arturo Fuente makes is on the extreme mild side. Doesnt matter what cigar it is. The Power Ranger should be called something else cuz there is no power in that cigar. Yeah yeah...you will say I am wrong but you cant tell my taste buds or the lack of any buzz differently. But what do I know I smoke pipe tobacco that has 7% Nicotine in it for fun.

    But out of all the Anejo's, I love the #48 the most.
