Vitola: Robusto (5 1/4 x 50)
Tasting Notes:
First Third: The Arturo Fuente Opus X Lost City opens with a burst of rich flavors. The initial draw brings notes of dark chocolate, cedar, and a hint of black pepper. The smoke is incredibly smooth and velvety, with a medium body and a perfect balance between sweetness and spice.
Second Third: As we progress into the second third, the flavors deepen and become more complex. The chocolate notes remain prominent, but now they are accompanied by a subtle caramel sweetness. The cedar evolves into a more pronounced oakiness, adding a pleasant woody undertone to the profile. There are also hints of roasted coffee and a touch of leather, providing depth and character to the smoke.
Final Third: In the final third, the Opus X Lost City continues to impress. The chocolate becomes richer and more intense, reminiscent of dark cocoa. The oak notes become more prominent, adding a delightful earthiness to the cigar. The black pepper spice picks up slightly, providing a nice kick towards the end. The flavors remain well-balanced, delivering a satisfying and memorable finish.
Pairings: To complement the exquisite flavors of the Arturo Fuente Opus X Lost City, I would recommend pairing it with a glass of aged rum or a full-bodied red wine. The sweetness and complexity of the cigar will harmonize beautifully with the rich, deep flavors of these beverages.
Rating: 94/100 The Opus X Lost City is an exceptional cigar that showcases the blending mastery of Arturo Fuente. It consistently delivers a harmonious combination of flavors, balanced strength, and impeccable construction. From the first draw to the final puff, this cigar offers a memorable smoking experience that is well-deserving of its high praise among aficionados.
Vitola Specifications: The Arturo Fuente Opus X Lost City is available in various vitolas, but for this review, I focused on the Robusto, which measures 5 1/4 inches in length with a ring gauge of 50. This size provides a comfortable smoking time and allows the flavors to develop fully throughout the three thirds of the cigar. The construction is flawless, ensuring an even burn and a satisfying draw that enhances the overall smoking experience.
