Fuente Fuente Opus X Perfexion No. 5
[/b][size=2]Dominican [/size]Republic
Petite Corona
4 7/8 x 40
[size=2]I saw this cigar in the Brokeback box pass, and being one of my favorite cigars, I could not pass it up. Despite being the most diminutive regular production Opus X, this cigar is full of both flavor and strength. Itââ¬â¢s a real firecracker [/size]of a cigar.
The cigar itself is perfectly made. It has a great looking Colorado Rosado wrapper that is nearly flawless with a triple seam cap. This cigar had suffered from a slight crack in the wrapper from the foot to around 3/8th inch up, but it had turned out, it was of no consequence. It has the classic Opus X pre-light aroma ââ¬â the sweet raisin smell found in no other cigar, except a Casa Fuente.
[size=2]The cigar is strong right off of the bat. Strong tobacco flavors with notes of spice, pepper with that raisin sweetness in the background. As I smoke the cigar down, it becomes slightly sweeter, but also stronger. I can start to feel the strength of the cigar about 1/3 of the way into it. The spiciness and peppery flavors maintain throughout. With a third to go, the cigar is still going very nicely. Strong flavors still going, without a hint of bitterness and the strength has picked up again.[/size]
[size=2]The cigar burns and draws very well. It also gives off a lot of smoke, especially for a small slow burning cigar. The ash was almost all white and was a bit flaky, but the core of the ash was firm. This cigar had almost went out on me, which I find somewhat common with most Opus, when I let it sit for several minutes. This was my only complaint about this cigar.[/size]
Donââ¬â¢t let the size fool you. Itââ¬â¢s probably one of the strongest Opus sizes being made. Perhaps the xXx Power ranger is a bit stronger. The power and flavor of the Opus has a lot to do with the Rosado wrapper. The smaller size and ring gives this cigar a lower ratio of wrapper to filler, unlike the larger and fatter sizes, with the exception of the xXx, which I find to be medium in body and strength, at most. Highly recommended.

Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
