Major Disappointment w/ my first Opus X

It just bugs the heck out of me that these companies can sell you a product for good money and when the product malfunctions tell you oh well that's how cigars are. I say Bullshiite! We're not talking a two dollar item here. These things have a reputation for being one of the best. Good Cigars are not cheap anymore and these companies should assure the quality of their products and when you do get a dud they should replace it. As far as aging goes if they know the cigar is going to be inconsistent when fresh then they should age it before they sell it. Why the heck should i have to buy something and then let it sit a year before I use it? I can't think of any other product or industry that operates like this. Well that's my rant for the day.

Thanks for listening

Well, what I'm surprised hasn't been brought up yet is that the general rule of thumb is to let the cigar rest after purchase. A lot of stores keep their humidors a bit moister than what you would keep at home.

If it is being a pain to keep lit, it's probably a bit wet, and needed to be dry-boxed for a day or two.

I know it goes against your current ways, but once you get into this a bit (humidor(s), dry-boxing), you will notice a difference between a fresh from the store cigar and one that has been given some time to be ready to smoke.
