    I would say so. Rule of thumb with them is that Opus need 12+ months to really come into their own so picking one up now I'd say you are safe

    The guy at the b&m isnt being much help, he is just trying to push tourist sticks on me... like $30 gurkhas. Anybody have an opinion either way?

    Thanks, it just makes me nervous making such a big investment on one cigar when i usually buy sub $5 sticks. But it'd be cool to have my first opus come from the shop that started me on cigars.

    ////I'd say dont buy any $30 Ghurks, they wont likely get any better with time....best let the tourists buy them. As for the Opus, not had the pleasure..but many on ccom will help with that, i just saved you from the Ghurks :)

    Smoke 1 or 2 Opus now but let the rest sit for a year. As far as yearly releases, the new Anejos are awesome. Much better than the last few years, IMO. And they don't need the aging.

    I was only trying, repeat "trying" to b funny, and to prevent good money from being spent on the Ghurks...cause i dont think most of them will get any better with another year on them. ....and now you know why i dont post as much as some, seems opening my mouth gets me into trouble, so to speak. No further actions required...especially from either of you 'little monsters'..you both have done enuf!

    The 2012 is somewhat odd IMO if the wrapper is somewhat dark it is a good one! They actually ended up surprisingly smooth and somewhat mellowed compared to some I have had. But look at all the wrappers if you can and choose the darkest closer to rosado
    Money can't buy taste

    no way id spend anywhere near that on a gurkha, they were more expensive than the opus; im just contemplating my first real "premium" purchase.
