Who wouldn't?
That's like the ULTIMATE combo... but, we can't all have rich smokes like that everyday Mr. Moneybags...
Only the best. I save what OpusX I have for friends that don't know squat about cigars.

As you should... who would want that crap anyhow?
Only had one Opus X, it was ok had to re-light it a few times.
I would rather have a Shark or Anejo or even a Don Carlos #3.

storage conditions has to be whats causing your burn and construction issues...
Opus have a very different flavor. They are a Dominican Puro. There aren't that many Dominican Puro's on the market because it's difficult to grow the wrapper leaf in the DR. The best I can describe it is like how most Cuban cigars have a certain twang to them because they are Cuban Puros, that's similar to how it is with Dominican Puro's with a different twang. And Opus is the top of the line in the Dominican Puro category.
I also must say that you need to retrohale Opus. I don't get a ton of flavor in my mouth. The key is the flavor you get through your nose on these.
Not sure where you are looking at buying, but I would wait and find them at a price close to the actual MSRP. Instead of buying from somewhere that always has them in stock but double the price.

Whoa, whoa...wait a gosh darn minute here. What model Maserati are you rolling?!
noobs
Smoke one once they get acclimated and see what you think. Then smoke another in a year or so and decide if you want to get more unless you fall in love with the first one. I don't smoke a ton of Opus so usually a tin of 3 is enough for me to have one and lay the other two down while I smoke my aged stuff. Do that once or twice a year and you'll have some nice aged stock built up before you know it.
Opus isn't for everyone, but are worth trying to see what you think. I have enjoyed the few that I have smoked and have about 20 that I am aging that have about 15 months on them so far. I am going to have another one at 2 years and see how they are doing. If you want a little milder smoke, Angels Share would be a good one to try.
I've had 4 Opus X and I don't plan on having another. Overrated.
This is why I am not in sales.
