    This cigar, out of all of the opus X is the hardest to find. The only blend that I can not get my hands on and probably the one that I am most excited about.

      Agreed that there are better sticks for better prices BUT those are a dime a dozen... Opus x are more hard to find so I'd rather get rare sticks to put away in my collection, than to stock up on common sticks 😅​@@Ahierecigars

      ​@rgj1227 you can start with the Ashton ESG, then you can move to the lost city. Those are the two easiest to find along with the rare pink. But imo the rare pink burns horribly.

    Excellent video gentlemen! I thoroughly enjoy seeing you both enjoying super premium cigars and libations while dressed in classy fashion! It keeps our hobby of cigar enjoyment at a higher level than any other hobby. I’m also glad you both lowered your opinions on the “peaty point” of the Scotch because at the beginning of the video it turned me off when Anthony mentioned “smoke and peatyness” two flavors I can’t stand! Especially while smoking a great cigar like the Angels Share! Great job guys!

      It won't give you the kick of spirit but there is a liquor from Africa, world wide available called amarula. You may be familiar with it. It has an elephant on the label.
      What I absolutely love, like time after time is have a hard spirit to start the ritual, then pour an amarula on ice with a Hemingway, the Cameroon wrapper with the zesty amarula cream.. it's my biggest secret, only shared with Hemingway lovers ... Don't get me wrong an XO or brandy never goes poorly either!

      Agreed, Arturo Fuente has become my "go to label" and I don't mind paying an extra buck or two for the quality. I find the maduro selection in particular to be superior compared to most commonly known brands within that price bracket. Better than some more expensive sticks I've tried as well. I definitely savor Arturo Fuente cigars more. Dominican cigars are the new "cuban quality" 👍🇩🇴
