Opus X Wrapper
I got a 6 pack of Opus X Robusto in today and the wrapper is not like any Opus I've seen before, Opus on right is the typical wrapper color I've seen, the one on left is much darker and makes me ask maduro? Anyways never seen an Opus wrapper so dark, maybe extremely fresh? There is no question on the authenticity...

Maybe Alex or someone familiar can give us the answer.
Left to Right: Maduro Robusto, Old Robusto (OG 95), Robusto from 08, and Opus X Series X Robusto. The colors are all different.
Yes Sir, yet I can't bring myself to think about smoking them. But, I will. I was just making the comment because of how many different wraps there are and the variety of Opus X you guys have that are aged.
I have some from 08 (I'm pretty sure it's 08 or could be 07) that have that nice reddish brown hue and the flavors are much deeper and more pronounced. I found the lighter shade wrappers aren't as good in quality. Kinda like a wine, some vintages are better than others. I'll actually avoid opuses on years that I see that pale colored wrapper. Smoke one of each, see what you think.
Unfortunately, I missed that one. I think the oldest I have is an 07 but 08 was a good year for opus. 09...not so much. The few 10s I saw looked pretty good but I think I only picked up one or two.
