Picked up the box. Haven't tried them and don't know if I necessarily intend to do so anytime soon.

I'm guessing they probably call for a nice long nap first- good point

It's a sampler/variety selection. To my knowledge, Oro Oscuro isn't in full production yet, and the final vitola(s) haven't yet been decided upon, hence the sampler case.

I only nosed one, smelled like dark honey

what differentiates the Opux X maduro and the Anejo?

I dont smoke a whole lot of either.. but typically prefer the Anejo over most Opus..

My understanding is the Anejo is essentially FFOX filler and binder.. with a maduro wrapper that is aged in a cognac barrel..

Im assuming the Opus X maduro is the same thing, only a different maduro wrapper leaf (maybe not aged in a cognac barrel?

Someone school me..

 

[bostoneo]

For clarification this is "oscuro"... which is darker than maduro

Añejos have a blend of Opus X, Don Carlos, and Hemingway filler, with Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrappers that are cured in cognac barrels after they've been aged.
^^ Got that from Gar Trader

Moki runs that last I knew, and has shown himself pretty knowledgeable.
