Arturo Fuente Opus X Reserva D'Chateau - Cigar Aficionado 2019 #8 Cigar of the Year
The legendary Arturo Fuente Opus X Reserva D'Chateau is legendary for one reason and one reason only, and that is because it is freaking delicious. Now, you could name any number of other peripheral causes for it to be the most famous of cigars within the small world of true aficionados (ask a Regular Joe to name a stogie and invariably Macanudo or perhaps Cohiba will be invoked), but it always comes back to taste. The relative rarity of the 7" X 48 stick certainly comes into play, as does the academic appreciation for the exclusive and expertly aged all-Dominican longleaf that comprises this one-of-a-kind experience. For those in the know, however, the proof is in the pudding.
For the experienced smoker, there may be no tastier treat that a full-bodied Arturo Fuente Opus X Reserva D'Chateau. That's not to say a more novice smoker can't find something to love about these fine Puros, a trial by fire we heartily recommend that you undertake sooner rather than later, but such is the complexity of the cigar that it is best when able to be compared to as many other cigars as possible. Bold and earthy from the start yet with a sweet floral aroma, the rich flavors only intensify the further down the barrel the burn line gets. Espresso and cedar and leather and cream and clove are readily apparent, with hints of citrus, honey cake, and black currant available to the discerning palate. A meaty, peppery char builds in as the nub approaches, the strength kicking into high gear to ward off any pretenders.
Earning its place in history as the first cigar to use nothing but Dominican tobaccos in its construction, the Arturo Fuente Opus X Reserva D'Chateau is so much more than either a novelty or an expensive luxury. It is an expression of pure passion and skill, and with each silky puff you'll come to appreciate more and more of what the fine folks at Arturo Fuente have accomplished. Honor their work often, and you'll be rewarded with true satisfaction.
