Cigar Reviewed: Arturo Fuente Fuente Fuente OpusX

Smoked at: Tenneessee

Fuente Opus X The Lost City is by far my favorite splurge. Out of all the $35+ cigars I have tried, this is it. Well worth the extra money. This cigar was sitting for 6 months in my humidor. It was toasted with a soft flame lighter. It had a tight draw through my normal 7mm punch, so I opened it up with a flat cut. The draw was a lot better. Very nice, mellow cigar with hints of cedar and leather. I started it paired with coffee, but moved over to scotch which brought out some spice flavor. I would normally pair this with a Brandy or Cognac; It usually brings out hints of sweet caramel. A third of the way through, I had to do a touchup to straight-out the burn. Overall, this is a smooth mild cigar. Normal smoke time for me is 75 to 90 mins.
