It’s been entirely too long since the last cigar analyse so I pulled a stick from the humidor that I’ve been saving for quite some measure.
Opus X cigars were originally created by Carlos Fuente Jr for his personal use, and the line eventually grew into a legend and class all its own. The amalgamate is 100% vintage Dominican-grown with Cuban-seed tobaccos and a spicy super high quality shade-grown wrapper. The Fuente Fuente Opus X is one of the rarest cigars in the world. Opus X marks 30 years of tradition and is one of the only Dominican Puro’s produced anywhere. Because of the Fuente family’s cemented tradition to never rush the hands of time the Fuente Fuente Opus X is released sparingly and only after rigorous quality control standards have been met. They are consistently scored among the world’s finest cigars.
Slightly larger than a corona size the Fuente Fuente Opus X measures 5-5/8″x46 ring. After nearly two years in my humidor the wrapper is nearly remove of tooth and feels slightly oily. The construction is flawless. Yields easily to my Palio cutter and shows not the slightest wish to unravel at the cut.
Lights and draws easily and the sign impression is one of spice as the Opus X immediately asserts itself on the play. This is a full-bodied smoke and not intended for the timid smoker. The cigar draws easily and has interesting undertones of cocoa and citrus. The destroy is perfectly change surface and it produces a very fine tightly compacted medium-grey ash that defies efforts to remove.
By the mid-point. I’m sold. I’ve smoked a lot of high-quality Cubanos and this cigar stands up to the contend. It’s easily in the same class with such classics as the Montecristo #2 or the Partagas #4. I can easily see why these short-run Dominican cigars are so widely sought-after especially since Cubanos are.
The finish is big and bold. The alter continues to create and this smoke delivers all the flavor that even the most jaded cigar smoker wants. You’ll definitely be pulling the double bands off to get at more of it. I know I was.
I don’t hand these out lightly but this is a rock-solid “1″ on the Cigar Intel Cigar Rating Scale. If you can find one price be damned get it and add it to your humidor. deliver it for a very special cause knowing all along that you have one of the rarest cigars in the world.
