The verdict
The Arturo Fuente Fuente Fuente OpusX Double Corona is a bold, full-bodied cigar from Arturo Fuente's Fuente Fuente OpusX line. It's a Dominican Republic (New World) double corona wrapped in Dominican (Rosado) at 7.625 in × 49.
On the palate, expect cedar, black pepper, and dark chocolate, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 85 minutes from light to nub.
It's well regarded: Cigar Aficionado rated it 95/100 in 2005. It pairs naturally with espresso, aged rum, and cognac. If you're newer to cigars, work up to this one rather than starting here.
The OpusX Double Corona is the line's grand format — a stately seven-and-five-eighths-inch cigar at a 49 ring gauge. It takes the first-ever Dominican puro, grown at Chateau de la Fuente, and stretches it into a cigar built for a long, ceremonial evening.
What it tastes like
The proprietary Dominican Rosado wrapper delivers OpusX's signature power and depth: cedar and black pepper, dark chocolate, leather, and espresso, with layered spice that slowly intensifies. The long double corona gives this full-bodied blend the most room of any size to evolve, rewarding patience with a smoke that genuinely changes from light to nub.
Who it's for
An aficionado's occasion cigar — full-bodied, expensive, and rare, demanding both an experienced palate and a couple of free hours. This isn't a casual smoke; it's a centerpiece. Pair it with an espresso, cognac, or aged rum and take your time.
For a shorter OpusX, the Robusto and PerfecXion No. 2 deliver the same blend faster. A cigar this prized and this long deserves careful storage — see how to store cigars. Mark the occasion in the Casa DNC app.
