Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Fuente Fuente OpusX Angel’s Share PerfecXion X opens with a refined medium-full body, delivering a sophisticated blend of sweet cedar, creamy toffee, and toasted almond over a base of leather, baking spice, and light earth. The retrohale introduces white pepper, cinnamon, and a hint of dried apricot, adding warmth and a subtle fruit brightness that elevates the profile. By the second third, the flavors broaden into honey-drizzled brioche, roasted cashew, and milk chocolate, while the pepper mellows into a smooth, elegant undertone. A faint floral sweetness emerges, weaving the cedar, cream, and spice into a seamless mid-palate. In the final third, the cigar gains depth with espresso crema, toasted oak, clove, and a trace of molasses, finishing long, smooth, and harmoniously balanced with a warm sweet-spice finish.

Construction and Draw
The PerfecXion X vitola is impeccably rolled with a lustrous Dominican Sungrown wrapper from the middle primings of Chateau de la Fuente, over a Dominican binder and estate-grown Dominican fillers. Construction is flawless, with precise seams, a neatly applied cap, and a firm yet responsive pack. Cold draw reveals cedar, honey, and a touch of white pepper. Upon lighting, the draw is effortless, producing dense, aromatic smoke with a velvety texture. The burn line remains sharp and even, and the ash stacks into tight, light-gray coins that cling between taps. Combustion stays cool and steady, allowing each flavor transition to unfold with clarity.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
Pair with Glenfiddich 21 Year Reserva Rum Cask Finish or Delamain Pale & Dry XO Cognac; both complement the cigar’s cream, cedar, and delicate fruit while enhancing its natural sweetness.

Final Assessment
An elegant, balanced OpusX expression that showcases nuance, harmony, and precision craftsmanship in every draw.
