Today was an Opus X Perfecxion #4. This was about four years old. Perfect construction burn and draw, this little guy was Full bodied and gave me my first Buzz in a long time. Leather, wood, and some nice spice. I will see what another year can do for it's twin brother.
What do you think of the Unicos Rip? Is it a smoother and creamier version of the monte 2 and psp2? I keep hearing how VR uses the best tobacco on the plent and want to try that one versus the BBF, monte 2, etc...
Hi Dustin, the one I am smoking is from 2011. It has the young tobacco flavor but not harsh. I have some from 2006 and they are more creamier with dark coffee note. The new one I am smoking has very distinctive and refined sugar cane flavor. This is a signature flavor of Vegas Robina Unicos. Monti 2 and PSP2 are very different than Unicos. Monti2 is more complex and PSP2 has more coffee, leather, aromatic flavor. New VR Unicos are unique but I will put PSP2 little ahead. However, if both are 3-4 years aged then they are unique in flavor and complexity. The reason I am smoking it today because I got a full box. before I sent them to rest for my aging project, I just wanted to smoke one to enjoy the difference. Hope you are doing well!!!

thanks rip, I am still exploring the Cuban world one at a time. So far I have really liked the Ramon allones el11 and SS and I love party shorts. I'm smoking one of the DA's I got from 2009 on wed to celebrate finishing moving.
When I go to US for home leave next summer, I will bring some aged Cuban for you. I have permission to carry some CC. You seem enjoying the Cuban lately. Did you try the Vegas Robina Don Alejandro yet? I am very curious to know about your thought on this.

Will do, I also gave one to BigT. I will smoke mine in two days and take notes. Not sure if I will want to review though.
;o),,Nice smoke,,tried one after a week,, gonna rest em for a few months Berger and Argenti Mooch
yea this one is rott and boy was the package destroyed but my sticks survived! I mended a mooch with some pectin a day or two ago, that Connie wrapper is a bit brittle after a year may be my sun morning smoke.

so what do you think of the flor de los pedros
haven't had the original flour de Los Antilles to compare but at the modest price point it is a pretty decent stick and I am a fan of maduros even though it's not all that sweet by my standards. Really getting the spice on this last third.

I was pleasantly surprised. I liked it.
