Palate help - Fuente Fuente Opus X Shark 2009 v Flor de Las Antillas

[ericdriscoll]

I need to smoke a Flor de Las Antillas. I've smoked many Opus sharks and would like to compare also it sounds like an odd comparison. I never really cared for the Opus shark and wasn't to excited for the Flor de Las Antillas but i am going to check out.

I am speechless.

I have to agree...

Yeah I missed that one... FdlA is very good, but it's not Opus level.

I don't know about "very" but it's good... a bit on the spicy side for me... the Shark is one of my favorite Opus vitolas tho... so, i side with the Shark...

I got the last box at Atlantic Cigar last week.
Not sure it's a fair comparison to the shark.

I'm a big fan of the Anejo #50's, in fact I usually buy them when I see them. The FdlA is, IMO, a great value cigar that I believe will age well.

Couldn't agree with you more. I'm on my third box of Flor de la Antillas which obviously has turned into my everyday smoke. Lol.
Love Opus but a box of Antillas(toro) for around $110-120 sounds a lot more appealing. Antillas is everything I love in a cigar!

Well, I think Cigar Afici agrees with you Flor de la Antillas lovers.

Guess I'll have to pick one up!
