Review #31:  The only cigar I was more anxious to smoke than the Sublimes was my first (and so far only) Fuente Fuente OpusX. So my expectations were sky-high! Regarding appearance, I can’t imagine a more impressive cigar than this one: a huge 54 ring gauge, a dark maduro wrapper and of course the Cohiba and limitada band. The cigar is very well-filled, obviously a lot of tobacco was used to produce these. The draw is a bit loose (strange, being very well-filled), and in the beginning it didn’t produce a lot of smoke (it did make up for that later on). It took me a while to light it properly and along the way I had some problems with the burn. It responds amazingly well to a correction with the torch though. It’s taste is smooth and creamy with hints of chocolate, spice and later on some leather. However, it’s not very well-balanced (yet). It also didn’t develop much, wasn’t as complex as I hoped and expected it to be. And it became ashy way too early. It took me a little over an hour and a half to finish it, I expected it to last at least two hours. Conclusion: it’s good, not great or fantastic. And for it’s price (€27 in The Netherlands) I expect a fantastic cigar! For that amount I can buy two RyJ Hermoso No.1 EL2003, imho a truly fantastic cigar! Hopefully and probably they will grow better with age but for now it doesn’t life up to it’s pricetag, not even close! - Submitted by Bolivar on June 21, 2005
Review #30: This is based on a single stick. Near perfect construction, and excellent draw with good resistance. Flavours are extremely creamy and rich, like cocoa beans lightly browned in butter. Core of Cohiba grassy and beany flavours are present, along with a deep earthiness I associate with ELs. A hint of dark fruit is sometimes apparent, and the finish is looong and sweet. Aroma is mediocre, and flavours remain constant throughout the smoke. Overall a cigar made with top class tobacco, but perhaps not worth the tremendous hype unless age proves otherwise. - Submitted by The Privateer on May 31, 2005
Review #29: Truly a letdown after all the hype that these smokes were getting. The cigar was constructed and burned perfectly but the flavors were not as full as I had hoped. I aged it for six months and couldn\'t stand to look at it for any longer without smoking it. I think I should have let it sit for at least another six months or so. I recommend letting your Sublimes sit for as long as possible to let all the flavors get just right. I prefer my Siglo VI\'s for smoking as of now. - Submitted by BLinburg on May 20, 2005
Review #28: I can\'t stand some of the abuse people are giving here, just review the cigar for yourself. By the way these are not the best cigar out of Cuba and the odd one I have had HAS had a toughish draw. I work in the cigar trade and all stock I come across is EMS direct from H&F. These are full flavoured, medium-full bodied, sweet, dark flavours of cocoa, espresso, woods, honey and leather with a nice amount of spice. Very enjoyable indeed, but as with all EL\'s they are designed to be aged a long time, be patient. - Submitted by A. Dyer on May 15, 2005
Review #27: What an excellent cigar! I just purchased two boxes, one to age and the other to enjoy as I celebrate my business school graduation. I had to try one right away and it was creamy with complex flavors of cocoa and perhaps a hint of cherry. The stick was soft to the touch and the wrapper was oily. The temptation to smoke the box I plan to age 3 years will be difficult to overcome! - Submitted by Billy the Greek on May 13, 2005
