Opus X Robusto

I had a rare Opus X Robusto last night. It was simply amazing. All of the hype around this cigar is real. It had an smooth, even burn. The wrapper was smooth and oily. The draw was perfect!

Flavor : ★★★★★
The beginning is as powerful as I expected. The first third boasts a very complex bouquet of flavors, composed of precious wood, roasted arabica and, of course, spice. The bouquet is equal (if not superior) to the best Cuban specimens. This first third is very macho, powerful, not blended to be elegant. The smoke is soft and delicious (did I mention that the amounts of produced smoke are more than respectable?). The second third is mostly woody, a little bit less complex that the 1/3 probably to the absence of coffee notes. Half-way through, I feel a mix of woody flavors (which come first), followed by some sugary notes. The taste stays very long on the palate, it’s amazing. In the last third, there is a bit less smoke but the flavors considerably gain in depth and intensity.
