Due to the high price, the OpusX name and the extremely limited supply, one of the main questions readers most like have is some variation of Is it worth not just the money, but the trouble it will take to track down? Well, at least in the case of the OpusX Serie Heaven and Earth Rare Black, I can unequivocally answer with a yes . Although there is very little sweetness in the first third—which is dominated by both black pepper and spice, along with notes of salted cashews and creamy leather—a rich caramel sweetness quickly becomes a major part of the profile as the second third starts and continues to gain strength and distinctness until the end of the cigar. This not only increases the complexity significantly but also really helps the overall balance of the blend, which does suffer a bit in the first third. The construction is excellent, the complexity is high and the balance is wonderful, at least after the profile calms down starting in the second third. Sure, the Rare Blacks cost a lot of money, but this is one of those rare times—no pun intended— that the price being charged is worth the product you are getting.
