The Arturo Fuente Opus X “The Lost City” is a rare, ultra-limited edition Opus X blend made with tobacco planted during a summer crop (an unusual off-season for their tobacco), aged for at least five years, and grown at Chateau de la Fuente in the Dominican Republic. In the first third, you’re likely to taste robust leather, bold spice, and touches of earth with a sweet undercurrent—honey, tea, maybe some raisin or dried fruit. In the middle third, richer notes develop: coffee or espresso, cedar or oak wood, and more pronounced baking spices, nutty tones, and sometimes molasses. Toward the end, there’s often a floral overlay or fragrant spice (white pepper), with the sweetness and woodiness lingering, balanced by some darker cocoa/espresso or bittersweet tones. Overall it presents as a medium-full to full-bodied smoke, very complex, with excellent construction and evolving flavor—definitely a cigar for someone who enjoys depth and nuance.
