Just Keep this in mind guys, This Opus X Lost city is a once in a life time release. Like it was said on CF, These will turn into the new VSG ER's. Not saying to hoard them forever. But they will be very htf cigars in a very short time.
i could not agree more i smoked one at my B&M last night and was amazed at how good they were and the were fresh off the fed ex truck, these will only get better with age

I have a review to write @ work tomorrow for the Lost City toro. After 4 days of not smoking and a clean palate, it was just ok. Sorry guys but this will be my last purchase of these ( still have a lancero as well). Will try to get it out in the afternoon.

Dam this hurts the wallet, but just ordered the sampler from Tobacco Grove. I sure hope they live up to the Opus OR like people are saying.
Funny thing is the OR Opus were a very smooth more mild smoke. Not as spicy as the current Opus. I think a lot of people are confused as these lack the punch they are used to in current release Opus and are expressing disappointment.

I tried to really "search" for flavors while reviewing. Sadly there was little to speak of. And it was very 1 dimensional. Also a few others thought the same thing at my B&M as well. Just our 2 cents.

Well that sucks, but on the flip side I get to keep my money for other smokes.

that's interesting. i've never had an or opus, but if they were smooth and mild, then these would fit right in.

That's too funny.

"I'm giving one of these boxes to my father for Christmas... you can too!"

Why would I want to give his dad a box of cigars (or anything really) for x-mas? LOL

i noticed that the lanceros in the full lost city humi had red bands. the 10'er box had the black bands. guess there is no difference in the sticks, just wrong bands?

I just got word from Tobacco Grove that my sampler has shipped. Anyone else had a chance to smoke these? I'm still very curious about these and was hoping for some more reviews. I also rented the move for the weekend just in case they come in and I'm in the mood.
