Vegas Robaina Clásicos. Now a teenager, and, unlike human teenagers, very relaxing.

I have not tried a Lost City yet. Are they much different than a regular Opus?

From what I remember, and according to my notes; the Lost City was a bit stronger and more "peppery". I liked them both very much, but enjoyed the Lost City more. YMMV

ETA: They were different vitolas. X / Robusto and LC / Lancero

Some kind of a maduro Padron. It may be a 3000, not sure, got it in a trade. All I know for sure is it is good. Enjoying a Depot Street Freight Hopper IPA with it. Very nice.

It's actually a Forbidden X and i've never been overly impressed with Forbidden X. The Lost City tastes very different than any Forbidden X I've ever smoked - a very nice spiciness to it, but not overwhelming. The same kind of spice as in an Opus, but definitely a fuller flavor. It's the first Forbidden X I'd want to smoke again (I actually afterwards smoked a Lost City Lancero - I did not want to put it down!)

Bottom line - Too complex to easily describe. I think it's hard to argue they're not in the same family, but they're definitely cousins not brothers...
