Opus X perfection X

[Don Fernando]

I had a Fuente Fuente Opus X perfection X in my humidor for a while, waiting for a special occasion to light it up, and finally that special occasion came up. After being unemployed for 21 months I got a job, so I had a good reason to smoke this Opus X (ring 48, 158mm).

This cigar is all about quality and class. Packed in nice cedar, with a red band on the foot and the prettiest cigar band in the world, the cigar has a nice medium brown Dominican wrapper, bit oily and very light veins. The appearance is great and the nice aroma of hay completes the pre-smoking experience. The cigar feels good, nice construction and the predraw is light and easy.

The flavor is light leather, with some flowers, warm and creamy and pretty soon the nice chocolate flavor which I like so much. Halfway there is a flavor of tobacco and pepper, bitter and not as pleasant as the first part of the cigar. The bitter taste disappears and I can taste the same sweet leather again.

I spend an hour and a half with this nice cigar and its full white smoke and its firm gray white ash.
Would I buy this cigar again? Only for a very special occasion

be aware, this review is little over a year old, no need to congratulate me with my 'new' job
