    Opus X Power Ranger

    Was just gifted my first one of these along with a bunch of other nc's, and was curious on opinions about it, and also if it needs any aging like most of the Opus X's.

    Manufacture date is unknown.

    If you got it from one of the CF guys, it's probably has at least 5-10 years of age. So smoke it, I bet it's delicious.

    Also you could just ask the sender when you thank them and ask how old it is.

    The Power Ranger is a favorite of mine!
    Never had to rest any that I've had and have never been disappointed.
    Hope it treats you as good as they've treated me.

    I did ask him and he had no idea when it was purchased. Not sure if everything he sent came from his own stash, or if several people sent smokes to combine and send to me, which would explain him not knowing when it was bought.

    Seems to be many people's favorite.
    I'm anxious to try it, but most people have told me its probably the strongest of the opus X's, which concerns me a little since the Perfexcion x I tried a couple months ago when I ended my hiatus from nc's was just too strong and overwhelmed my palate and I didn't care for it at all, and it was from 2018, and one I used to love.

    Just don't want to waste it by smoking too young as i hate tossing a cigar before I finish it, plus it was part of a gift batch of nc's and would consider it rude to the gifter.

    Think I'm going to just stash it in my tupperdoor of aged cigars I have been generously gifted and give it a few years

    From a guick Google search, the rest at least one year from roll to shipping.
    My palate prefers a full strength cigar, so that's one reason that the Power Ranger is at the top of the list for me.
    I can't say the age of those that I've smoked, but they have been very consistent for me. I've had in a lounge (no idea how long they were sitting there), some I've ordered and allowed to acclimate, a few that I would estimate Sat in my humi for ~6 months, one or two that sat with me for at least a year. And again, they remained consistent.
    Hope that it's as enjoyable for you as they have been for me whenever you decide to smoke if.

    I've been waiting for cigars to be named after 90s kids shows, however I didn't see it coming from AF Opus of all sticks. I'm all in on the Opus TMNT and any Nick Toons.

    They good! It does need some rest but I doubt you will be disappointed. I'd give it a years nap for good measure and go for it.

    I enjoy a full strength on occasion as well, but smoking mainly cc's, theres nothing that comes anywhere close to the strength of the opus X's.
