Personal Cigar Review: Fuente Fuente OpusX Reserva d’Chateau 2010

The company has celebrated their debut, with the release of “The Voyage” a premium hand rolled cigar manufactured by La Aurora factory using some of the finest tobacco available.
I would like to try this cigar in a smaller ring gauge to see how the experience differs. With the strength level, it should be approachable to most smokers. I would say an afternoon or evening time frame would work best and probably would pair well with brown spirits.
This was a very interesting cigar. The flavors and finish were clean and fresh for the first two thirds and became a little fuller in the final third. The experience was pretty unique as that fresh feeling isn't something I experience often. The strength level really fit the flavor profile.
Davidoff has another winner in their portfolio, showing once again the bolder side of what they can do. The dark and rich notes worked very well in unison. A cigar well worth putting into your rotation.
I would recommend this to a more seasoned smoker to pick up the nuances that it provides, but for those smokers, they are in for a treat. Definitely something as an evening or final cigar in a smoking session, but quite enjoyable and one I could see myself gravitating towards quite often.
Jason Holly will unveil the release of “Ivy” at an exclusive event at Casa de Montecristo in Countryside, IL on Thursday, April 28th. “Ivy” is a project that, although under parent company Viva Republica, will boast a completely different personality - initially Ivy will only be sold in 100 specially selected retail shops.
This past January, La Aurora Factory, announced one of its launches that is undoubtedly the most important of 2016: La Aurora Cigar World.
This is an interesting cigar and an interesting concept.
