What a great looking stick, and a nice review as well. Imagine what these will be like in a few years. I hope to find one of these to rest for a very special occasion.

Nicely done Doc. Would you say these are closer to the old forbidden or the lost city? I hear they are a bit milder than the regular Opus's. Also any chance on a hint where to pick up some of the same size you reviewed?

No idea of anywhere that has any of these left, other than maybe Casa Fuente, but they were/are selling them for DOUBLE msrp. So don't bother. If anything, these actually sort of combine characteristics of all three... Opus X, Forbidden X, and Lost city. The cinnamon from the Opus, raisins from Forbidden X, and the oak from the Lost City blend. Regardless, they need some down time, to dry out. It was definitely milder than regular Opus, but the Forbidden X Toro (the "Cigar in the Bottle") is milder than regular Opus as well. Don't get me wrong, it isn't a mild cigar by any means, but it isn't nearly as in your face, big, bold, and strong as Opus this young can be.

Like I said, twice MSRP, so around 30.00 for this size.

Nice review. I love the cinnamon, raisin notes in these and some of the regular opus sizes. Reminds me of a cinnamon-raisin oatmeal cookie. I agree that it was milder than a regular opus but stronger than the forbidden x from 04.

I imagine I should have read all of the other posts before posting.
