, By: John Smith
  • Brand: Arturo Fuente Opus X 1992 Rare Estate Reserve
  • Length: 5.25 inches
  • Ring: 50
  • Score: 5/5 (Overall)

Appearance

The tin and band are beautiful. The stick is tightly rolled, and the wrapper is smooth and oily. It received a 5/5 rating for appearance.

Construction

The construction is excellent. The draw is perfect, and the burn is regular. It has an ash close to 2 inches long, firm and non - flaky. It got a 5/5 rating for construction.

Flavor

  • First third: It has a complex flavor bouquet of precious wood, roasted arabica, and spice. The smoke is soft and there is a large amount of it.
  • Second third: Mostly woody, with a bit less complexity due to the absence of coffee notes. Half - way through, there's a mix of woody and sugary notes, and the taste lingers on the palate.
  • Last third: There is less smoke, but the flavors gain in depth and intensity.

It was rated 5/5 for flavor.

Value

Though the price is high, it seems more like a gift item. It received a 5/5 rating for value.

The cigar is from the Dominican Republic, with a Dominican wrapper, filler, and binder. It's hand - made and costs about $30 each. It pairs well with cold water, not alcohol.
