Opus X Robusto Cigar

Opus X Robusto features a unique blend of Fuente tobaccos, delivering a harmonious balance of smooth and bold flavours. Its craftsmanship reflects a century of tradition.

Fuente Fuente OpusX revolutionized the cigar industry as the first successful 100% Dominican puro, proving that world-class wrapper tobacco could be grown in Dominican soil. Created by Carlos "Carlito" Fuente Jr. after seven years of experimentation at the family's Chateau de la Fuente estate, this legendary brand combines Cuban-seed tobaccos with innovative cultivation techniques. Known for its distinctive reddish-brown Corojo wrapper and bold, complex flavour profile, OpusX remains one of the most sought-after and collectible cigars in the world, setting the benchmark for premium Dominican craftsmanship.

• OpusX was originally called 'Project X from Planet 9' until Carlito found the word 'opus' in a thesaurus, meaning 'creative work or masterpiece'

• The brand was created after a French retailer told Carlito he wasn't a cigar maker but just 'assembled tobaccos', motivating him to prove otherwise

• OpusX cigars are aged in special closed cabinets for a minimum of one year, unlike other Fuente cigars which are aged on open shelves

• Only about 75 OpusX cigars are hand-rolled per day by a small team of specialized torcedores in a dedicated room at the factory

• The original launch in 1995 created such demand that retailers had to limit purchases to two cigars per customer

• 2023 Cigar Aficionado - OpusX Reserva d'Chateau named #1 Cigar of the Year with 97 points

• 2019 Cigar Aficionado - OpusX PerfecXion 888 rated 92 points for outstanding quality

• 2020 Cigar Aficionado - Multiple OpusX vitolas featured in annual Top 25 rankings

• 2022 Cigar Aficionado - OpusX Double Corona reaffirmed as classic with 95 point rating

• 2024 Cigar Aficionado - OpusX continues to receive 90+ ratings across multiple sizes
