Wow, what a smoke, what an occasion! My wife and I just received our referral for a beautiful 8 month old baby girl from Vietnam! As mentioned in previous posts I was saving this three or four year old gem for this special occasion. Just lit it up and it's awesome! Seems like the foot drew the flame towards it when I was heating it. The amount of smoke is unreal, the draw is perfect. Even the smoothness of the raper is great! So far this is up there with a few other great smokes. It's worth the wait and temptation! I'll let you know how it smokes in a few hours LOL.

I'm only about two inches in and it's very tasty! The amount of smoke from each draw is incredible. Very smooth and rich. Not as spicy as I thought would be. It's very well rounded with pepper, spice, tobacco, leather, and chocolate. It's even got a great after taste to it. At this rate I'll be out here for at least an hour longer, probably more. Not rushing it. I've let it sit for a minute or two between draws and it never hints and going out. Kept it around 67% and 79 degrees. Took it out about two hours before smoking it to let it get a little lower. You'll love em.

Two hours into this thing and still have about three inches left! Can't believe how long this thing has lasted. Flavor profile has been pretty much the same, added some sweetness in the middle. Can't believe this cigar is going to last three hours.

That sounds very tasty. I love how ultra rich the Opus are. It's like no other. I've had a dud or two but the good ones were incredible. I can't wait for a 2-3 hour Opus. I've decided I'm gonna light one up in Cancun in a month and a half. Happy smoking.
