Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Fuente Fuente OpusX Angel’s Share Reserva d’Chateau opens with a refined medium-full body, delivering an elegant mix of sweet cedar, creamy caramel, and toasted almond over a base of leather, baking spice, and light earth. The retrohale brings white pepper, cinnamon, and a touch of dried apricot, adding warmth and a delicate fruit brightness that lifts the profile. By the second third, the flavors broaden into honey-drizzled brioche, roasted cashew, and milk chocolate, while the pepper softens into an elegant, lingering undertone. A faint floral sweetness emerges, weaving the cedar, cream, and spice into a harmonious mid-palate. In the final third, the cigar gains depth with espresso crema, toasted oak, clove, and subtle molasses, finishing long, smooth, and balanced with a warm sweet-spice glow.

Construction and Draw
The Reserva d’Chateau vitola is masterfully crafted 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 seamless seams, a perfectly 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 stays razor sharp and even, and the ash forms tight, light-gray stacks that cling impressively between taps. Combustion is cool and steady, allowing the nuanced flavors to develop gradually and with precision.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
Pair with Glenfiddich 21 Year Reserva Rum Cask Finish or Hine Antique XO Cognac; both enhance the cigar’s cream, cedar, and subtle fruit while amplifying its natural sweetness.
