Fuente Fuente OpusX
Fuente Fuente OpusX is the premier cigar line in the Arturo Fuente Cigar family.[1][2] Made by Tabacalera A. Fuente, this cigar is consistently ranked as the single most sought-after cigar in the world by Cigar Aficionado and the line is held by many to be the greatest cigar in history to date.[3] The cigars are rare and can be difficult to obtain. Prized by collectors, many OpusX's sell for 300% or more of their suggested retail price on the secondary market.[4] Fuente Fuente OpusX cigars are wrapped in tobacco leaves which are grown at the Chateau de la Fuente plantation in a tropic river valley in the Dominican Republic.
