As the resident Opus whore, I can tell you that I really enjoy Opus X. What are they worth? That's a personal preference. If you really like a cigar it's worth whatever you want to pay for it. Considering the "rarity" of Opus X online, I personally feel that a lot of these prices are inflated all over the internet. Your best bet is to check your local shops. They're bound to get in a box around Christmas time or Father's Day. Then you can at least try one and see what you think. If you like full-bodied cigars, these are for you. If you have the patience to age them a couple of years, they will be even better. That said, go for the Padron Anniversary first. These are another high quality cigar, priced a little bit less, but worth every penny.
