Opus X Toro Lost City Cigars

Opus X Toro Lost City

One of the best backstories ever affiliated with a super-premium cigar (and, let me tell, we've heard em' all)! In 2004, "The Lost City", starring and directed by Andy Garcia, was partially filmed on location at Chateau de la Fuente in the Dominican Republic. In order to help Andy Garcia shoot his movie, Carlito Fuente planted tobacco in the off-season. Harvested and aged for five years, Carlito used the same super-premium tobaccos that starred in "The Lost City" to create his new, uber-limited edition Fuente Fuente OpusX the Lost City cigars. A full bodied smoke with more complexity than we've ever tasted, Fuente Fuente OpusX the Lost City cigars come packaged in ten-count boxes complete with an individual serial number, a certificate of authenticity and a certificate to get a FREE DVD of the movie, "The Lost City". At the request of Andy Garcia, a portion of the proceeds from these "famous" cigars will be donated to the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation.

Appearance = Veiny, rich milk chocolate wrapper, smooth & virtually seamless.

Pre-Draw = A toasted almond taste with a little spice.
Just a couple puffs the spic increased and like any other Fuente but with a mahogany taste kicker. Four puffs in toward the 1st third the sweetness came in to play with a note of toasted almonds.
It produced a bright white ash which was solid.
As I set it down the aroma was just as good an earthy and roasted coffee rise from the cigar.
Stays lit, burns even.easy draw, nice thick smoke. The smoke rising from the foot is an amazing thick sweet pleasant aroma

1st 3rd – Started medium body and as the 2nd third starts the flavor stays the same, but drops to a mild to medium body. Very smooth and creamy, also buttery aftertaste.
2nd 3rd (to half way) – Flavor changed to a dark chocolate but the spicy continued … still a mild to medium.Unlike my experience with other fuente cigars, this one seems opposite... Starting medium, getting stronger as I get toward 2nd 3rd. Instead of starting strong and spicy mellowing to medium-full as you go. Ash is solid and beautifully flecked gray and white. Held easily for over 2 inches. Burn is perfectly even.

Now the last third… where it got interesting… the aroma that was in the 1st third… is now what I taste now,A earthy ,dark roast coffee and moved up to a solid med body but consistent with the spice. With this cigar you could smoke it to your fingers with no bitterness.
Overall a very unique cigar,pricey but a must try due to its rarity I know they wont last due to its collectability if not now but in the near future.
