Flavor Profile
The OpusX Double Robusto is a bold, opulent, and deeply complex smoking experience, revered as one of the most powerful and nuanced cigars in the world. The first few draws explode with dark spice, cedar, and dried cherry, which evolve into rich layers of espresso, dark chocolate, and leather. A lingering undertone of sweet baking spices—nutmeg, cinnamon, and anise—emerges as the cigar progresses, all wrapped in a creamy, peppery finish that resonates on the palate.
This cigar’s rich Dominican tobaccos—grown in the famed Chateau de la Fuente farm—are aged to perfection, offering exceptional depth, strength, and balance. The robusto format delivers concentrated flavor while allowing enough time to appreciate its evolving complexity.
Story and Accolades
The Fuente Fuente OpusX is a cigar of mythic stature, first released in the mid-1990s as the world's first Dominican Puro to use 100% Dominican-grown wrapper, filler, and binder. At the time, many believed a wrapper of this quality couldn't be cultivated in the Dominican Republic—but Carlos "Carlito" Fuente Jr. proved them wrong.
The OpusX line—particularly in the Double Robusto vitola—has since become the benchmark for luxury cigars, often described as a “unicorn” among collectors due to its limited availability and near-mythical reputation. It has received numerous accolades over the years, including multiple 95+ ratings from Cigar Aficionado, and has been featured on countless Top 10 Cigars of the Year lists.
