Diplomatico No. 2

Size: Piramid 6 x 52

Clipping/Lighting: Since this cigar was a torp, clipping was a breeze and the pre-light draw seemed a bit tight....but I've had tighter... ;). I was able to get a nice toasted burn on this cigar and i never had to re-light or do any touch ups to it.

Draw/Flavors: The draw, which was tight in the beginning, let up and it was less of a chore. The flavors that i got from this stogie can simply be described as a "cuban earth" but it did seem to be medium to full body. And it also had almost a sweetness to it.....VERY NICE!!!

Overall: A solid cigar....but with draw issues.....it only gets a 4

Opus X

Size: Opus X Belicoso XXX 4 5/8 x 49

Clipping/Lighting: Clipping this cigar was an extreme breeze and the pre-light draws that i took were simply amazing. Lighting was fairly easy except for one part of the foot that didn't want to light....but i managed to get it going.

Draw/Flavors: The draw surprised me a bit, since it was a small stogie i expected a tight draw but that wasn't the case. The draw was absolutely great, i never had to pull hard or re-light it. The main flavors that i got of this cigar were amazing, overall it was just a consistent spice(almost Cinnamon) and pepper. The flavors lasted all the way through and lingered in my throat.

Overall: This stogie deserves a 5
