OPUSX Angels Share (MRSCW#2)

[cigaraholic]

As a tribute to Mike I choose something memorable to smoke. I rarely smoke NC’s but I’m expecting, and would bet the farm that I’m about to smoke the best NC I’ve ever had. This was given to me by a friend, never had a OPUSX before but always wanted to try one.

 Beautiful looking cigar with a silky smooth colorado wrapper, nice weight in the hand, I’m guessing  corona gorda size. Absolute monstrous floral bouquet, smelling this cigar is like sitting in a field of wildflowers. Cold draw is campfire and licorice. The foot of this cigar reminds me of raisin bread,

The opening flavor is honeydew melon, a little under medium body. Moves into green tea with wildflowers, hazelnut and bubble gum. Smoke is soft and smooth, no trace of NC acidity I usually get. 30 minutes in I can confirm this is the best NC I’ve ever smoked! Lavender and cardamom come in, this cigar is so floral, reminds me of RG Corona Extra. 1 hr in and I’m only at halfway, what a pleasure it is to smoke such a beautifully rolled cigar. Was wondering where this cigar was going or if it was going anywhere else when the body goes up to medium with a blast of earthy flavor and umami, didn’t see that coming. Now it’s bouncing between bacon and grilled lamb chops and bbq spices 🌈 Last 1/3 umami fades, body comes up to medium full, I can tell I’m smoking a NC now. Flavors are earthy coffee, oyster shell and campfire marshmallows. A delicious wild ride of a cigar.  As I started typing this review I realized this was the perfect cigar to remember Mike by, he was certainly an angel who shared.

I happen to like these, but I think I liked your review just as much. If I only had a palate

What a thoughtful cigar choice and review, well done!

I'm sure Mike was enjoying the wonderful aroma from Heaven above.

I have never smoked an Opus X that wasn't extremely enjoyable.  They aren't cuban for sure but as the review above stated, they do take you on wild ride.
