Fuent Fuente Opus X

911!

Now you have got my confused. I have read about storing cigars at 60 or 65 but not smoking them. I will have to try and find where it was suggested. I am sure it said a second humidor was required set at 72 to 80 to prepare them for smoking as the lower humidity was just for aging them.

Whaaaa? One for aging...another for smoking between 72 & 80 % humidiy???
YIKES!!! Where the heck did you hear this???

Good to Go!

First advice is usually to to age for a year before smoking...

Hmmm? Can't remember the last time (if ever) I came across an NC that needed to be aged before smoking. NC are built to hit the ground running!

I agree, but the Opus is the exception that proves the rule

Ummm, exception that proves what rule? I'm confused.

The rule: Non cubans don't need aged
The exception that prove it: Opus X

Cgars Ltd Tommy. Everything I have been sent by Mitchell, Michelle and the rest of the team has been beyond approach....

Yes no problem there.

[Ross.Co]

Yes no problem there.

Cheers Tommy. As you are in Reading, we should meet up for a smoke sometime soon if you are interested buddy

[TJCoro]

I see....

The rule: Non cubans don't need aged
The exception that prove it: Opus X

Ahhh, got it...an exception TO the rule.

I haven't really smoked that many to be honest so can't really say one way or the other. A somewhat less expensive alternative which I have smoked many times is the cousin to the Opus X - the Anejo. Same guts as the Opus X with a differnt wrapper.

The Anejo Shark is one I keep meaning to try since someone posted about it here a few months ago.

Come to think of it....

Know what! Now that you mention it....I think there's a Anejo Shark resting comfotably in don TJ's massive unit. I think I'll go liberate it from storage and pair it with a jigger or two of fine Havana Club Rum.

Thanks for the mind jog, se?or VDGuy! You're the best!

UPDATE: My mistake....it was a Anejo #55. Smoking it anyway! Cheers!

I had a shark last year when I visited the Prince, Keith had a load back then, don't know about now ...

Great cigar by the way, the Anejo kicks the ass of the bland over hyped over priced Opus X range
