Fuente Fuente Opus X Lost City Lancero Cigar Review
- Brand Name: Fuente Fuente Opus X Lost City Lancero
- Length: 7.5 inches
- Ring Gauge: 41
- Score: 4/5
Product Introduction
The lancero vitola, with dimensions around 7 - 7.5 inches in length and an approximate 38 ring gauge, has lost favor among contemporary cigar smokers. The Fuente family's Lost City line is well - known. For the movie “The Lost City”, Carlito Fuente planted tobacco leaf off - season for shooting, though the lancero doesn't use this unique leaf.
Appearance
The toothy Rosado wrapper has few small, almost unnoticeable veins and even coloring. It's a masterfully rolled, blemish - free cigar with well - designed bands.
Taste
- First third: Dominant flavors are leather, driftwood, and pepper. A subtle sweetness blends in and starts to overtake the wood note.
- Last third: Hints at a pleasant nutty flavor before becoming bitter in the final inch.
Details
Originating from the Dominican Republic, it's hand - made. The wrapper, binder, and filler are all from the Dominican Republic. Each cigar costs about $32. The firm bunch doesn't cause draw problems and allows for a slow burn. It may not be the most complex, but the flavor is pleasing and unique. Enjoy it with your favorite Scotch.
