The PerfecXion X is the OpusX line's parejo toro — a straight-sided six-and-a-quarter-inch cigar at a 48 ring gauge. For smokers who want the OpusX experience in a classic toro shape rather than a figurado, this is the one.

What it tastes like

It's pure OpusX: the proprietary Dominican Rosado wrapper drives cedar and bold black pepper, dark chocolate, leather, and layered spice that builds across the smoke. The toro format gives the full-bodied blend plenty of room to develop, delivering the complexity and intensity that made this Dominican puro a legend, all over a long, evolving hour-plus.

Who it's for

An aficionado's smoke — full-bodied, premium-priced, and scarce. The straight format suits smokers who prefer a parejo to a tapered head but still want OpusX power. Give it time and a developed palate, and pair it with an espresso, cognac, or aged rum.

Prefer a tapered head or a shorter smoke? See the PerfecXion No. 2 torpedo or the Robusto. Given the strength, our cigar strength guide puts "full" in context. Rate it and track your OpusX collection in the Casa DNC app.
