not complaining trust me, but I noticed in the last few days smoking first an opus shark yesterday and now an angels share that it smokes slower than most. the first was a straight cut and and a v-cut on the angel and I'm @ almost two hours smoke time. just curious if the crown royal is getting to me and I'm nursing this thing or am I just getting my money's worth?

It could be a bit of both, in my experience Opus do smoke a bit slower because of the thick, moist ligero leaves used to roll them which also contributes to their propensity to go out on you. Additionally the strength on these smokes especially when young usually equates to a bit of nursing. I just finished a Love Affair tonight, and a power ranger last night; the Power Ranger lasted considerably longer which I attribute to the extra strength of the Power Ranger.

I think its the strength usually dictates how fast I smoke a cigar. With Opus, its a combination of the strength, rarity, and price that tells me to slow down and relax. Can't have too much of a good thing.

An Opus Reserva D chateu takes me close to 3 hours.
Even the Perfecxion No. 4 takes me over an hour.

Opus always burns slow for me, but then again im a slow poke

curious why would the power ranger have extra strength?
They really don't, I've never noticed any big strength difference.
OK I figured. I know there is speculation that the entire line has some tweaks but nothing concrete

I think this has what you're looking for in it, not cheap though.
