Yesterday while at Holt's I picked up one of these little slices of gold. This is a great cigar. It starts out strong with great flavors and then mellowed out a bit. A little more than half way through the cigar it gains strength again. The last third of the cigar is more mellow but still carries a bunch of flavor. For a smaller cigar is wonderful. I am going to have to consider buying a box of these and aging them some if I can find a box of them available. Holt's had a 2 cigar limit on the Opus X line of cigars.

I agree. My tobacconist recommended these over a few larger X's and I've found them to be real treats. Also, for a small stick they sure last a while. I'm a fast smoker and I've had them last easily over 50 minutes. Plus with the price of Opus, $9 for this stick is a deal.
