Paired with a black americano on a crisp and sunny winter morning, this fairly subtle and consistent smoke gave me 40 minutes of smoking time. It has an overtly woody aroma which gathers a floral quality around the half way mark. Its sweet, creamy and nutty with notes of fudge and praline which develop into a slightly more caramel flavour, just on the cusp of bitterness. A brilliant little cigar for the price.

A little too strong for me personally, its down as being medium but to me its much fuller in flavour and strength.
That being said it burns very well and evenly throughout the smoke, its quite loose in construction which I dont mind and it has a good draw.
Lasted a good 30 minutes.
Well worth the price its selling for, I received it in a mixed flash sale which are fantastic for trying new and exciting smokes.
Thanks again guys

I am not normally a fan of cigarillos this size but this is a great little smoke with a surprising amount of flavour. Fuller-bodied but smooth with some spicy notes. I even detected at times a nuttiness (a characteristic which I enjoy in larger premium cigars). Full marks here to Dannemann - sometimes good things come in small packages and this is one is a gem. With a coffee a perfect short break.

This is one of the Tobacco that gives you the Promise of the Tin Note. Right from the very first down to the bottom of the Bowl.
If you go Gentle, you will be treated to a full Coconut flour.
And a very pleasant room Note.
Highly recommended this Blend👌

It will never be better than something like a Trinidad short but for this price it really ain’t bad!

Beautiful looking cigar, smell off the cigar upon inspection was faint... just a hint of manure.
Draw was excellent... almost Padron level... very easy comfotable draw.
Needed a slight touch up once when smoking but overall good performance.
Burnt nice and slow.
First third was surprisingly very mild, creamy, light sweetness... not just a tobacco sweetness, also of some kind spirit, like a cognac. Are these aged in cognac barrels? No real spice, pepper or earth to be found. 2nd third much like the 1st.
Final third classic Opus flavours creep in, earthy, leathery, spice and i start to enjoy the stick but its there with a subtleness and sweetness...
Clearly this is a well aged cigar but too delicate for my tastes.
I think the standard Opus X is more enjoyable and i smoked a Short Story after this and enjoyed that a lot more. Forbidden X might be ideal for people who may not enjoy the harshness or strength of a standard Opus X.
