Bio By: David

COMMENTS: The Legendary Fuente Opus X is consistently named the world’s most sought-after cigar brand by Cigar Afictionado Magazine and is the culmination of the Fuente family’s 100-year tradition of cigar-making excellence. The secret of the Fuente Fuente Opus X is the cigar’s exquisite, silken Rosado wrapper leaves that are grown of the Fuente family’s renown organic tobacco plantation, Chateau de la Fuente, which is located in a remote tropical river valley in the Dominican Republic.
When the Fuente Family planted their first crop of this outstanding wrapper leaf in the early 90s the rest of the industry scoffed because everyone else who had tried to grow wrapper in the Dominican had failed. However the Fuentes achieved the impossible and the Opus X was born.

The cigar’s name is derived from “Project X” which is what the Fuentes originally named their experimental tobacco crop. “Fuente Fuente” refers to the partnership between Carlos Fuente, father and son, and the word “Opus” was chosen to describe the cigar’s unique wrapper. Carlos Jr. originally thought of the world opulent, which proved to be too long, and then combed the dictionary, eventually settling on the term “Opus” meaning “creative work, masterpiece, a work of a lifetime.

Yada Yada Yada, straight lifted from the Internets. Here’s the thing about this stoge. its beautiful oily wrapper gives hints of leather and hickory. The drag is flawless, you feel like Snoop in the Drop it Like it’s Hot video. Definitely one of the top 10 cigars I’ve ever smoked, and I was fortunate enough to come across them at Levitt and Pierce Tobacco Store in Harvard Square. They know what they’re talkin about over there. Nice 45 minute smoke, the PerfeXion blew our egos up even more, if possible. This cigar can’t help but make you feel like Da Boss. Maybe not Perfection, but pretty damn close. (damn cliches)

Yeah, so we were so psyched for the creation of the HCR that we went out and splurged on some Opus X’s. All three of us smoked these bad boys, and are still convinced they are the cream of the crop. More to come on the celebration afterwards.

This blog was started on a whim by three Harvard College Undergrads on a quest to explore the finest cigars this world has to offer. In an attempt to broaden our own tobacco horizons we bring you comments, reviews, insights and foolishness, all somehow related to cigars.
Plus, its a great excuse to kick back and enjoy a stoge
