I did however learn that, as much as I love a good aged opus, and as many dimensions of happyness it can bring, it still has its limitations.

    #1 - if you smoke it outside tonight as I did - it offers absolutely no comfort of warmth whatsoever. None.

    #2 - neither coconut water or cranberry juice are acceptable drinks to accompany this cigar. I could not tell you at this moment why it was even conceived that those 2 particular beverages were considered as the perfect mate for this stick. Everyone apparently doesn't know that opus prefers to be smoked with a capri sun. Let your pal know hes treading on shaky ground for not knowing the dark secrets of opus smoking.

    #3 - no matter how magical this cigar can be to the smoker...it has pretty much no effect on your significant other if your late getting home and they had plans for the evening. Not that you were instructed of this in advance. I mean I was actually told "it was just a cigar - that I smoke cigars all the time, couldn't I have just put it out and finished it tomorrow?" As if I had all sorts of cigars half smoked and saved for a rainy day....

    Aside from those few wee little kinks to get over - I was extremely pleased with it.
    No, no, no, no, NO!!! That's an absolute perfect storm to completely ruin an otherwise fantastic experience. You might as well been smoking a Backwoods!

    If it helps - I've come to introduce the Opus Perfecxion #4 to my lovely bride. She was not much for smoking "fancy" cigars but I've gotten her smoke enough Opus at this point that she actually salivates when I suggest we fire one up - just like Pavlov's dog! LOL The beautiful thing about that is - when she dogs me for being late I just let her know it was unintentional, but I fired up an Opus. She melts like chocolate on a car seat on a warm summers day...,,

    I had a Joya De Nicaragua Antano (amazing smoke! possibly a new favorite) A finger burner, that was yesterday.

    Today I had a Monte No. 2 Really not super amazing, at least not for me, it was very spicy and a bit harsh. I like a full bodied cigar, this was just too spicy for me... I have two more in the humi, we'll see if they age well.

    At some point in my rather busy day today I'm sitting down and enjoying one of those AF Anejo Shark's from the split. It will be my first Shark

    Comacho Corojo - Canadian, or perhaps International, blend. Tastes better than catalogue Comacho's with the same band/box, anyhow.

    I have pics but I was nekkid. I'm not sure what the board's NSFW rules are so I won't post.

    I'm not much for being able to describe a cigar but I'm presently burning my fingers and still enjoying this fantastic smoke 😃. Not a single touch up required.

    I'm a HUGE Cameroon fan. That cigar is a very interesting a smoke... New out of the box they're pretty potent. Sitting around for a while mellows them out nicely.
