This cigar, out of all of the opus X is the hardest to find. The only blend that I can not get my hands on and probably the one that I am most excited about.
Agreed that there are better sticks for better prices BUT those are a dime a dozen... Opus x are more hard to find so I'd rather get rare sticks to put away in my collection, than to stock up on common sticks 😅@@Ahierecigars
@rgj1227 you can start with the Ashton ESG, then you can move to the lost city. Those are the two easiest to find along with the rare pink. But imo the rare pink burns horribly.
@ ok ,thank you , can you give 3 more recommendations if possible? Doesn’t have to be from a Fuente…. Or anyone reading this wanting to recommend any cigar that’s not from Fuente will be appreciated very much
Wow I can’t believe this! I was looking up the Opus X cigars today and now you guys are doing a video on these! Now I know it’s meant for me to buy some!! Thank you Mazz!!
Best cigar b roll I’ve seen from any channel lol, I love how y’all added the guy taking a photo of the cigar, because we definitely do that. Great cigar and video.
Excellent video gentlemen! I thoroughly enjoy seeing you both enjoying super premium cigars and libations while dressed in classy fashion! It keeps our hobby of cigar enjoyment at a higher level than any other hobby. I’m also glad you both lowered your opinions on the “peaty point” of the Scotch because at the beginning of the video it turned me off when Anthony mentioned “smoke and peatyness” two flavors I can’t stand! Especially while smoking a great cigar like the Angels Share! Great job guys!
In am from Belgium and 21 years old and love your content, hope to be able to pass by the shop one time to hopefully meet you guys once!! Much love from here🇧🇪
I suggest you consider the Drew Estate Undercrown Maduro; it may offer a more economical alternative to your usual reviews, yet it remains a consistently satisfying and reliable choice in my experience.
That was awesome , came home grabbed an Angels Share sat outside and opened up TH-cam to see a video from Holt's on the Angel's Share. Almost like I was able to enjoy a smoke with yall ! Cheers!
I've smoked more than my fair share of FFOX, but the Angels's Share is my all time fav. Theres just a note i can't describe. Reminds me of a horse stable thing. A litttle funk in there. Got a 3 pack tin once and it smoked in a week!
Smoked this on my last trip to tampa at this beautiful lounge made of an old church. Grabbed an Ashton ESG and an Anejo to bring back to Canada. The angel share was strong but man was it ever a wonderful smoke. Paired with a diplamatico at the lounge.
I tried a new cigar today H. Upman 1844 special edition barber wrap. I was surprised great cigar when I tasted it I paired it with my sexton Irish whiskey. Perfect ! Yall should try it
Do they make mini bottles of the spirits you drink. Just to experiment with cigars. Having new world oscuro with Diplomatico Rum. Have a few days off from nursing home. A new video and fresh cigars is the good life! Keep up pumping out quality videos. You are now my #1 podcast!
It won't give you the kick of spirit but there is a liquor from Africa, world wide available called amarula. You may be familiar with it. It has an elephant on the label. What I absolutely love, like time after time is have a hard spirit to start the ritual, then pour an amarula on ice with a Hemingway, the Cameroon wrapper with the zesty amarula cream.. it's my biggest secret, only shared with Hemingway lovers ... Don't get me wrong an XO or brandy never goes poorly either! Salut.
The shop I frequent has a "hidden" stash of these tucked away at the bottom of the humidor. I usually check to see if they're still there and seems no one's caught on to them yet. One of these days I'm going to splurge and go for it.
Funny you brought up me calling out u out on pouring! Wife got me the O14 for Christmas...initially I was, eh wanted bourbon, then tasted it and was super happy. Very tasty with smokey and fruit balance. Had it with X ff after xmas dinner...perfect. Think I will go with LaAroma CC tonight. Glad you told us you cold drawed...I was like damn, noforeplay, cut and go, lol. Cheers.
What a gem guys 🔥 I have, what will be my priciest cigar so far, the Opus X Oro Oscuro Rederva D‘Chateu waiting for me in my humidor Any pairing advice here would be appreciated , alcoholic or non alcoholic all good with me I actually got the Oban 14 and the Blantons Original here and was thinking about having one of those with it
Great video. I'm new to cigars but so far my favorite is Oliva V melanio and AF Hemingway. I want an Opus X for my 50th but I don't know which blend I should start with. Also, considering God of God
Agreed, Arturo Fuente has become my "go to label" and I don't mind paying an extra buck or two for the quality. I find the maduro selection in particular to be superior compared to most commonly known brands within that price bracket. Better than some more expensive sticks I've tried as well. I definitely savor Arturo Fuente cigars more. Dominican cigars are the new "cuban quality" 👍🇩🇴
Wildest cigar story for you. My first opus x was an angel share gifted to me by my friend Anthony. Which I smoked in Florida with another friend named Anthony. And by the time of this video release I am visiting Anthony within this week. Who I also gave an opus x (forbidden X) when he visited me. And now I’m watching Anthony from holts smoking an Opux X angel share. Wild!
I got one giving to me last week from a friend and I dropped it later on the floor. 😢 broke the foot and cracked the wrapper pretty good. Super sad. I’ll probably never get one again and I did that. 😢I’ll still try to smoke it.
The whole Opus X line are real smokers cigars. There’s a reason they are one of, if not the best cigars lines on the planet. These guys are real smokers. None of the pretentious BS you see a lot.
Just need to find a shop that sells a lot of Fuente. Fuente sends OpusX and the other specialties to stores that sell a lot of their regular lines. Number I heard was Fuente ships 1 specialty box for every 25 regular boxes a store sells
Fuente always have that cuban cedar note. Always the closest to Cubans as a whole of any Manufacturer. Hands down. None new world compares. I'd even go as far as Dominican tobacco generally is the closest.
I always thought pouring was an ambidextrous thing. At least I'm ambidextrous when it comes to pouring a drink, but I guess that's not the case for everyone lol
It’s interesting to me how your buddy really didn’t know much about flavor profiling. It seemed like he was just there for the ride. Maybe having guests who have valuable input like yourself would be more interesting
We are a team. At times one of us will have more input than the other. We also do full interviews with some of the biggest names in the cigar industry on this channel. Thanks for the input & enjoy!
@@anthonymazzola4470 I enjoy both of you. You each bring something unique to the broadcast, would be detrimental if your strengths and weakness were the same. Keep up the great video's and keep your individual uniqueness.
@@joeschmoe6720 exactly. Taste at the end of the day is subjective. Doesnt mean a cigar is bad or good. Just means "YOU" enjoy or hate it. Idk why that's such a hard concept to understand. And everyone is gonna taste somethin different from a gar cuz their tastebuds are different
I love you guys, but how on earth has cigar smoking been reduced to talking about subjective notes? Do you guys have nothing interesting to shoot the breeze over while smoking a fine cigar?
This cigar, out of all of the opus X is the hardest to find. The only blend that I can not get my hands on and probably the one that I am most excited about.
You will be disappointed. It’s a good cigar but not worth the hype or the markup
Agreed that there are better sticks for better prices BUT those are a dime a dozen... Opus x are more hard to find so I'd rather get rare sticks to put away in my collection, than to stock up on common sticks 😅@@Ahierecigars
Trying to start collecting the opus line where would you recommend I start it’s so many

You're always meant to buy some Opus X! Happy smoking!
Love the consistency of these videos boys. Keep em pumping out like cigars in a factory. Keep the Holts machine oiled and moving well. ❤
Best cigar b roll I’ve seen from any channel lol, I love how y’all added the guy taking a photo of the cigar, because we definitely do that. Great cigar and video.
These smoke sessions are so well made. Camera angles, decor, etc. Would listen to you guys for hours!
My first experience with the angel share was gifted to me from David at JC Newman!.. been a fan ever since.
That stick is ridiculously good, thank you for a great channel! Greetings from Sweden!

I couldn't find a damn box of opus x angel share in San Antonio, but I did get 2 boxes of the rare pink 🩷.
I'm smoking one now 💯👏😎
Where’d you get it?
Lucky u😊
This is definitely my favorite Opus X cigar, I was lucky to find a few of them a while back.
That was awesome , came home grabbed an Angels Share sat outside and opened up TH-cam to see a video from Holt's on the Angel's Share. Almost like I was able to enjoy a smoke with yall ! Cheers!
Exquisitely done. I love Oban 14.
I've smoked more than my fair share of FFOX, but the Angels's Share is my all time fav. Theres just a note i can't describe. Reminds me of a horse stable thing. A litttle funk in there. Got a 3 pack tin once and it smoked in a week!
Don't blame you, there's definitely something special about this blend!
Haven’t had any Opus X.. hoping someone gifts me one this year 😂… and I just got this bottle, can’t wait to try it! thanks for the vid
ive got a pack of these in churchill cant wait to try them ❤❤❤
Me too! A 3-pack in a tin? Will smoke one on my 40th birthday this year 👍🎉
@@martinsvensson179yep thats the one!! holding them for the summer too cold to smoke outside right now 😂
Beautiful Cigar, Beautiful Presentation.
This was my first ever high end cigar. 4 years ago . Have never found it again since
Smoked this on my last trip to tampa at this beautiful lounge made of an old church. Grabbed an Ashton ESG and an Anejo to bring back to Canada.
The angel share was strong but man was it ever a wonderful smoke. Paired with a diplamatico at the lounge.
Never tried this stick! Will see if I can get my hands on one. Awesome video :)
Can’t smoke because of the storms here. At this point I am just enjoying you guys smoking 😅😂
I want one!
Such a beautiful pour. Im sitting back with a american spirit black cigaret and a joseph magnus cigar blend enjoying the vid
I tried a new cigar today H. Upman 1844 special edition barber wrap. I was surprised great cigar when I tasted it I paired it with my sexton Irish whiskey. Perfect ! Yall should try it

I get the lemon zest. It's a mix between a sweet citrus, sweet cedar and it's red pepper quality.
Life is good ❤, even with my Fuente Hemingway and Hennesy XO 🥃
Had a Hemingway with my ☕️ this morning
It won't give you the kick of spirit but there is a liquor from Africa, world wide available called amarula. You may be familiar with it. It has an elephant on the label.

Salut.
I had a great fuente with Hennessy. Different Fuentes they pair great with Hennessy one of my fav pairings I came to ! 👍🏻
Man you got a box of one of my favorites! Life is not fair sometimes 😢
Beautiful 👌
I sometimes get that lemon zest flavor from the smaller size don pepin blue label. Very odd. But I always get it
I’d love to see some more cigarillos you love or recommend
The shop I frequent has a "hidden" stash of these tucked away at the bottom of the humidor. I usually check to see if they're still there and seems no one's caught on to them yet. One of these days I'm going to splurge and go for it.
Happy new year fellas
I just wish you guys would get some of these in stock so I could try one
🔥 Opus X never disappoints!
Try a purple rain and get back to me.
Funny you brought up me calling out u out on pouring! Wife got me the O14 for Christmas...initially I was, eh wanted bourbon, then tasted it and was super happy.

What a gem guys 🔥
I have, what will be my priciest cigar so far, the Opus X Oro Oscuro Rederva D‘Chateu waiting for me in my humidor
Any pairing advice here would be appreciated , alcoholic or non alcoholic all good with me
I actually got the Oban 14 and the Blantons Original here and was thinking about having one of those with it
Goes great with cappuccino. Padron xo cafe.
They are amazing great to get in a three pack well worth it! Expensive but well worth it you can get them from Cigar Country sometimes....
Haven’t had the cigar, but love Oban 14
Do you guys use any kind of ventilation or just smoke freely inside the room
Ive only had 2 different opus cigars. I know a place to pick some up on limit, but wven that they go so fast...
I have a couple of Angel's share opus x do you guys think it would pair well with the Lagavulin 16 I never had oban 14
How come i can't find these for sale at holts??
In store only
Holts smoking inventory
When yall Opened that Box I was Happy too man, I felt Like I was about to be the third grab one for myself man 😂😂.
😂
You need to get it in stock
How does Oban 14 compare to Lagavulin 16? Personally, for me I find Lagavulin too smokey for my taste
Mazz explaining which tastes he gets... during that fucc thinking and looking at him... i get spice 😂😂. I love you guys ❤🎉
My all time fav Opus. Nothing like it. There is a reason they are impossible to find.
they're definitely in high demand for good reason 💯
Great video. I'm new to cigars but so far my favorite is Oliva V melanio and AF Hemingway. I want an Opus X for my 50th but I don't know which blend I should start with. Also, considering God of God
Give a Don Carlos a shot
THANK YOU@@lesterdiamond12
My same favorites, I love the barnyard flavor.
Is it worth the price
Well here we go. ❤
I'm on my way to the cigar shop now to spend a days pay on a box of those babies 😅
@21:07 Why did Facc do that???
The cork comes out easier when you wet it
Great video guys! I’m searching for a sampler to try the OpusX variety. Holt’s is sold out 😕 but…
Which are your guys’ favorite of the Opus lineup?
when i smoke any opus i get a distinct "popcorn" note. like a buttery saltiness, its subtle
Angels share?
Be and angel and share one with me 👼
I don't see this cigar on your website?
Unfortunately any Opus X is only offered in store
Brick and mortar only
Alturo Fuente is the cream of the crop when it comes to Dominican Cigars!
Agreed, Arturo Fuente has become my "go to label" and I don't mind paying an extra buck or two for the quality. I find the maduro selection in particular to be superior compared to most commonly known brands within that price bracket. Better than some more expensive sticks I've tried as well. I definitely savor Arturo Fuente cigars more. Dominican cigars are the new "cuban quality" 👍🇩🇴
Dom cigars are too light. But the opus bumps it up a notch...
Just got my hands on the rare Montecristo espada oscuro cigar
How fun is it to keep searching to name a flavour👍🏻
Hope we get a video today?!
Of course 😉
@@holtscigarsbetter get my cigar prepared and coffee. -5 f in garage!

Are these going to be for sale on the site?
Probably for their walk-in customers
Have you guys tried Port Wine? Maybe even in a pairing
You should absolutly try it!
We have tried it, but not on the channel yet. Could be a good idea for a video!
I got one giving to me last week from a friend and I dropped it later on the floor. 😢 broke the foot and cracked the wrapper pretty good. Super sad. I’ll probably never get one again and I did that. 😢I’ll still try to smoke it.
Holy crap! I felt IT move watching this video and it wasn’t the hosts, 😂. Cheers
😱😱😱😱😱😱wooooooooWEEE!!!!
I think im gonna need a bigger humidor 🤷🏼♂️😂
😂
I was so looking forward to it . Was good but not worth the price tag . I will stick to my new world dorado figurado’s !!
Instead of the music intro you should blend it with an asmr sound of the ritual of lighting the cigar
I really have a hard time watching these videos of guys smoking cigars I will never have the opportunity to smoke.
They are in their store right now for purchase.
The whole Opus X line are real smokers cigars. There’s a reason they are one of, if not the best cigars lines on the planet. These guys are real smokers. None of the pretentious BS you see a lot.
Why is the opus x line so damn hard to get?
Just need to find a shop that sells a lot of Fuente. Fuente sends OpusX and the other specialties to stores that sell a lot of their regular lines. Number I heard was Fuente ships 1 specialty box for every 25 regular boxes a store sells
I didn't know that
Thank you for the information
opus x angels share is the best cigar in the world!
It's up there for sure
MSRP
Get some.
Fuente always have that cuban cedar note. Always the closest to Cubans as a whole of any Manufacturer. Hands down. None new world compares. I'd even go as far as Dominican tobacco generally is the closest.
Only Fuente is Fuente 😎
💯
Too expensive for me
Gotta have a smokey scotch in memory of the fire…
I always thought pouring was an ambidextrous thing. At least I'm ambidextrous when it comes to pouring a drink, but I guess that's not the case for everyone lol
Man I always get a sweet pineapple taste
Interesting! From the cigar or the Scotch?
Αν έρθει ποτέ στην Ελλάδα.....θα έχει πλάκα η τιμή του😊
I was disappointed with this blend and would personally prefer an Oro oscuro belicoso. That being said, to each their own.
I enjoy the content of your TH-cam. But I wish you would smoke some more Reasonably priced cigars, you guys always seem to go for the expensive ones
We'll be making more budget-friendly cigar videos this year. Keep an eye out!
Thank you for your response. I enjoy watching your videos but just can't quite afford some of these that you review.@@holtscigars
I think you guys ever met a cigar that you don't like! 🎉
We only make content on cigars we like 🤷
Why would they review cigars they don't like, they are a retailer. Common sense

Please change the intro music…the old one was better. 🫣
We don’t have a specific intro song. It changes each video.
