Notes
Appearance: Huge unwrapped torpedo with slightly lumpy sweetish-savoury wrapper and usual wide colourfulmcigar band - 9/10
Combustion: Steady even burn with good ash - 10/10
Draw: Smooth easy perfect draw - 10/10
Aroma: Peppery, orangey, aromatic - 10/10
Flavour: Sweet, but not overso, wrapper with extremely pleasant tasty citrus and honey notes - 10/10
Balance: Medium bodied cigar. It didn't seem as powerful as the first three I tried. Towards the end (the last couple of inches) it developed a bitter taste – but unless you're into smoking the end of a cigar held by a pin I doubt this matters to the vast majority of smokers. Most cigar smokers tend to discard the final butt of a cigar for the flavour buiulds up to something more than their palate can cope with anyway – 9/10
Overall: Very pleasant, tasty, well-constructed, creamy cigar but don't smoke it to the very last flake of tobacco. Should age well - 9/10.
Fuente Fuente OpusX is regarded as the pinnacle of cigar perfection, and the standard by which all cigars are measured. The unique combination of Fuente tobaccos produce flavours both smooth and bold, in harmony with the sweet lingering fullness of the exclusive Fuente Fuente OpusX wrapper tobacco. Flawless construction, exquisite flavour and a century of mastery and tradition.
The mineral rich soils of the Dominican Republic, once deemed unsuitable for wrapper tobacco, had never met with the expertise and tenacity of the Fuente family. Together they cultivated a glorious wrapper tobacco that became the foundation for the infamous Fuente Fuente OpusX, the first ever Dominican Puro.
