Opus X
I'm looking for opinions on the "best" vitola. As I understand it the stick changes a bit from size to size. I've had the Perfecxion X with a few years on it before, but honestly it didn't really blow me away. What's your favorite size?

Definitely. Mostly because the small ring age more qucikly. And Opus need a good 5+ years to become an excellent smoke.
Personally, my favorite Opus vitolas are the Petite Lancero and the Reserva D'Chateau, though I also like the DC, the XXX, the Fuente Fuente, the No. 4, and the Perfecxion X. Honestly, I would smoke any Opus, as it is probably my favorite cigar... There are those that maintain that the Opus is best in small rings, and while I love some of the small ring sizes (especially the smallest ring, the PL), I think some of the larger rings are just as good. You can definitely tell the difference between the two though.
as far as smaller rings aging quicker, im not sure what would cause that, or if that is even true.
i mean i can see theory behind it now that you mention it (more tobacco in the filler will take more time for the oils to merry and more oil to break down over time) but i am not 100% sure if it works that way or not.
