yossie Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 a dress box of Partagas corona or 10 sticks OpusX corona gorda. The both are authentic. Cheers
jdbrown Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I guess I would go with Partagas Corona's...Not a huge fan of OpusX although I have quite a few gifted sticks.
anacostiakat Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I guess I would go with Partagas Corona's...Not a huge fan of OpusX although I have quite a few gifted sticks. I always keep some opus on hand for when I want one. The small sizes. Not anything like the Super Beli and bigger. So it would depend on what was in my humi. For me I love Partagas. So it really would depend on what you want to have on hand.
semery74 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Without hesitation the Partagas Coronas. They have a well pronounced creamy taste, with aromas of cedar, earth, perhaps anise, and a long finish. The Opus I have had were good, but just seemed artificial.
Shelby07 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 I gave away all of my Opus X's even before I came here. Overpriced and not very good, in my opinion. All pepper. So I'd go with the Partagas.
Van55 Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Partagas Coronas hands down. OpusX are just vile on my palate.
tsolomon Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Partagas coronas would be my first choice. I have had 1 or 2 good Opus X and I'm trying to age some for future consumption, but all the Partagas I have smoked have been very good. My general opinion of Opus X is that they are over priced and not a great smoke when young. I don't know if they will improve with age, but so far I haven't had the urge to smoke any in the past year. I think the whole release strategy is brillant and the reason that they are so sought after since everyone says they need 3-4 years before you should smoke them.

Two to three years they really start to change.
habanohal Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Partags all the way!! the only thing Opus are good for is lighting fireworks or keepin the bugs away
El Presidente Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 Go all in and buy both Yoss......you know you will anyway
aavkk Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I guess both and you can light your partagas with the Opus.
smk819 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 I have not been impressed with the Opus that I have smoked. I am an unabashed Partagas ***** and I wish there were some coronas around. I think I got the last box that Rob had.
