I too look for the best value in purchasing cigars. As for impressing a boss with a gift... I think your route would be ill advised. My recommendation makes sense. My pallet has enjoyed every Opus X I've lit up.
If you buy into the hype then you will be disappointed.
To each their own.
But imo if one has very high expectations of Opus X or Cubans in general then one will likely be disappointed.
Then again, I enjoy cigars for my tastes and not in trying to impress anyone else.
