I don't get much chance to smoke much but I recently had a La Opulencia from My Father, and had high hopes based on all the reviews. It had lots of peppery notes and that is about it, pretty 1-dimentional. Sorry no pic, my hands aren't as pretty as the folxs in this thread.
I got it from a walk-in humidor and kept it seal in plastic for 3 days till I had time to smoke it. Could it be that it dried out to much and that was the issue? I smoked it pretty slow in hopes that it wouldn't get harsh and it never really did.
