Cigar Review: like a cigarette only bigger more smoke

Cigar Review: I have to start by saying I LOVE Fuente. Probably 60% of my 500 cigars in the humidor is Fuente. This smoke was disappointing from the first few puffs. The draw was good and the construction was, well....Fuente. I had no issue with the burn, which was even and not overly hot. The smoke started of with a woody taste, switched quickly to leather, then to cedar then back to wood. I just couldn't enjoy the time between transitions.

Cigar Review: The Fuente Fuente Opus X XXX is probably one of my all time favorite sticks, excellent construction, perfect burn, and, most importantly, the taste is amazing. After some age on this stick it would easily be a 10.

Cigar Review: Great looking cigar, nice oily skin, excellent wrapper. Strong woodsey taste mellows into nice complex flavor that is gone before you know it. Would reconmend this for the more experenced.

Cigar Review: This cigar lives up to it's Opus X name with a wonderfully flavorful cigar. Thick smoke, even burn and full flavored. Not for the light at heart!

Cigar Review: Like it's big brother's, this cigar is bold from the first taste. Many rich, complex flavors make this a great smoke. This is an after dinner cigar. Not recommended on an empty stomach. With all it's strength it is smooth from start to finish.

Cigar Review: Like the Padron 26, it lives up to the hype and price. Opus X is the smoothest, "best-ess" cigar filled with flavor that never overpowers. There may be a couple of speciality cubans that are a little better but this is the one I save up to buy, and wait for the right time and place to smoke it!!!

Cigar Review: Its early in the year, but these are some of the best sticks I've had in 2007. Had the Opus X after a steak and some black and tans, and it was the perfect end to a top notch meal. The other Fuente cigars were equally as pleasant. Thanx again!

"Wow"

Cigar Review: The xXx is one of my favorite cigars. I love these little powerhouse cigars. Great flavor, great construction, and they pack a great punch of strength. Make sure you're sitting down the first time you smoke one of these.

Cigar Review: A beautiful cigar, nicely packaged and a joy to look at and smell. The wrapper was tasty, not spicy, just mellow. The first few drags were a bit hot and spicy but that mellowed instantly. Woody is how I would describe this powerhouse. This stick was surprisingly powerful, almost like a camacho, but it fools you. I just finished it and my head is spinning, very full. My only complaint is that it is a pricey. I still like my RP sungrowns just as much and they are a less than a 1/4 of the price.

Cigar Review: Arturo Fuente - Opus XXX - 4 5/8 x 49 A well packaged cigar that attracts the eye. The cigar is a medium brown with a slight reddish hue, nice tooth and a oily sheen. The little Beli has some noticable vein and the cap is somewhat sloppy. Tangy pepper, toasted earth and some oak hit the palate on the first couple of drags. The Opus started out full bodied but after 1/4" it has mellowed a bit into a medium-full bodied smoke, the flavors now consist of licorice, oak and a slight brassiness on the ... More details

Cigar Review: As always, the Opus X delivers some of the best quality cigars on the market. Great cedar taste, medium body, long finish. Sophisticated, delicious smoke with a perfect burn. Perfectly rolled, smooth, elegant creamy smoke - great to the last puff!

Cigar Review: The Opus X XXX is a great smoke, small and well packed the draw is flawless and the flavors mature as you smoke. The price is a bit much for the smoke but the mystique of it commands the price

Cigar Review: The Opus X XXX is well constructed and a firm cigar. It started spicy and peppery and then mellowed out to where I couldn’t put it down. It was an hour of pleasure. Nice draw and even burn. I need more!

Cigar Review: The Opus X XXX is one awesome little cigar. The first thing you'll notice is the great apperance of this short cigar. The wrapper leaf is amazing and feels silky around this 'mini belicoso'. The draw and burn are perfect and the ring size allows plenty of tasty smoke to flow through with ease. You'll find the spicey, earthy and peppery flavours in abbundance. I didn't taste too much of the sweet and slight citrus you'll find with a longer Opus, so this little guy is a great change of pace from t... More details

Cigar Review: It was a shame to clip this beauty. The oily wrapper and flawless construction made it a masterpiece. Many flavor layers throughout, including earthy, creamy nutmeg and spice. Perfect ash, perfect draw. In other words, an Opus X.

Cigar Review: Ahh yes, the legendary Opus X XXX "Power Ranger" - definitely earns the title. Excellent aroma before you light 'er up; one of those that smell almost too good to light, but once you do you are entranced with complex flavors of spice, pepper, and earth. Solid construction, good draw and a good firm ash with thick, white smoke. Definitely a cigar-lover's cigar, I suggest keeping at least one or two in the humidor for special occasions or when you feel the need for that special reward or treat, or... More details

Cigar Review: A delicious masterpiece displaying an incredible creaminess towards the last part of the smoking experience. The XXX is shorter cigar which offers an hour of pleasure. Despite burning slightly unevenly, the Opus displays beautiful construction.
