Cigar Specifications
Tasting Review
The Fuente Fuente OpusX Angel’s Share Robusto opens with a refined medium-full body, delivering a complex mix of sweet cedar, creamy caramel, and toasted almond over a base of leather, baking spice, and light earth. The retrohale introduces white pepper, cinnamon, and a touch 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 an elegant, lingering 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 subtle molasses, finishing long, smooth, and harmoniously balanced with a warm, sweet-spice glow.

Construction and Draw
The Robusto vitola is flawlessly rolled with a lustrous Dominican Sungrown wrapper from the middle primings of the famed Chateau de la Fuente fields, over a Dominican binder and estate-grown Dominican fillers. Construction is exemplary, with seamless seams, a perfectly applied cap, and a firm yet responsive pack. Cold draw reveals cedar, honey, and a trace of white pepper. Upon lighting, the draw is effortless, producing dense, aromatic smoke with a velvety texture. The burn line remains razor sharp and even, and the ash forms tight, light-gray stacks that cling impressively between taps. Combustion stays cool and steady, allowing the nuanced flavors to develop gradually.
Whisky Pairing Recommendation
Pair with Glenfiddich 21 Year Reserva Rum Cask Finish or Hine Antique XO Cognac; both highlight the cigar’s cream, cedar, and subtle fruit while enhancing its natural sweetness.
