Opus X are good but Padron Anniversario Maduro are better IMHO. You can get very good cigars though without looking for the high-dollar ones. Cubans are good too but when you have smoked enough of them you come to realise they are not *that* much better and the quality can be a little uneven.
If you like Cubans, get the Partagas Serie D No. 4 or the Montecristo No. 2, I've never had a bad one of either of them. Stay away from the Cuban Cohibas, they are way overpriced for what you are getting IMO.
Agreed.
