FUENTE FUENTE OPUSX

Fuente Fuente OpusX Belicoso – this was the second OpusX I’ve had with the first being the Perfection No. 10.  I enjoyed this cigar on Thanksgiving Day after everyone had gone home and I was fully engulfed in a stress free environment.  Yep Just me a few beers and a bottle of wine sitting on my porch enjoying a cigar!  Needless to say I was drunk when I had this cigar, which I consider to be highly irresponsible especially when you’re smoking an OpusX.

The OpusX line of Cigars is one of the most famous and sought after cigars because of their distinct flavor and aroma, constant ratings of over 90 by Cigar Aficionado, and rarity. If you're looking for the best of the best - these cigars are it. The OpusX is full of flavor and punch!

Nestled in the risk, volcanic soil of the Dominican Republic lies Chateau De La Fuente, home of the finest cigars of our time, the coveted Fuente OpusX!

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 becomes the foundation for the infamous Fuente Fuente OpusX, the first ever Dominican Puro.

Today Fuente is regarded as the pinnacle of cigar perfection, and the standard by which all cigars are measured. The unique combination of Fuente tobaccos produce flavors both smooth and bold, in harmony with the sweet lingering fullness of the exclusive Fuente Fuente OpusX wrapper tobacco.  Flawless construction, exquisite flavor and a century of mastery and tradition!

To be honest I wasn’t very impressed with this particular cigar.  In fact I liked the Perfection better by far.  I guess you could say this cigar was a bit of a letdown.  It had been in my humidor for about a year too.  It just wasn’t as complex as I was anticipating.  Maybe I was to amped up and made this cigar out to be way more than I should have.  Or maybe it was the fact IW as drunk as skunk…uh yeah that was probably it so I should issue an apology to the Fuentes for my carelessness in this case! 

The Belicoso was smooth from what I remember and it did have more of a full flavor.  I actually should go drop another $10 and get one and try it when I’m not drunk and then do another review!  Maybe I will!

Cheers!
