Cigar: Fuente Opus X
Size: 5 5/8 x 46
Wrapper: Cameroon
Rating: 8
Journey with me to Chateau de la Fuente, or to Damian's back yard...they both have the same cigars. This was a special night; Damian, Ed, Larry and Sturge were ready to celebrate Cinco de Mayo in only the way we know how. With Fuente cigars and great beer. When I say Fuente cigars, I don't just mean any Fuente cigars. We had 2 Fuente Fuente Opus X, 1 Between the Lines Hemingway and 1 Grand Reserve. The aroma from the back yard would satisfy any aficionado.
This Opus has been in my box since November 2004 and I have been dying to light it up. This legendary cigar didn't let me down. It was spicy and creamy, all in the same puff and it only got better as I smoked. The rating of 8 reflects a common problem that I have had with the Opus the last 2 time I have smoked. Halfway throught the cigar is unceremoniously goes out. That always frustrates me and I have to reflect that in my rating.
I have one other Opux in my box and it has been in there 6 months longer than this one. It is one of the Tributes to Arturo Sandoval and I will post when I smoke it.
See some picutures below from the party.
