這是一篇2011年的雪茄評測報告。這款茄是1995年出廠的,已經發酵了26年了。這款老茄是富恩特巨著X的最初期的作品了,那么多年后,仍然還有油脂滲出茄衣煙葉。同樣驚奇的是26年的老茄的口感仍然如絲般柔順。起初有股雪松的味道,保持了一段時間后,突然毫無征兆的,一股核桃、水果蛋糕和焦糖的混合味道撲面而來,此后伴隨著大量的肉豆蔻和八角茴香的味道。據說巨著X有時候會隨著時間的推移而變得甜美和產生堅果味。這款茄的結構十分完美,整支雪茄抽完,形成三段固體的雪茄煙灰。這款雪茄的品鑒人是《雪茄愛好者》雜志的編輯格雷戈里·莫托拉。

From the first production run of the OpusX line, and it’s amazing how much oil continues to seep through the wrapper, which is still silky and supple after 26 years. Equally amazing is the amount of flavor left in this cigar. It starts slow and cedary, and stays that way for awhile, but then, without warning, a huge blast of walnut, fruitcake and caramel hits the palate all at once, with considerable amounts of nutmeg and star anise.
The spicy red pepper notes that OpusX can sometimes be known for have all turned sweet and nutty over time, and the construction is perfect, as this entire cigar smoked in three solid ashes.
