The verdict
The Arturo Fuente Fuente Fuente OpusX PerfecXion X is a bold, full-bodied cigar from Arturo Fuente's Fuente Fuente OpusX line. It's a Dominican Republic (New World) toro wrapped in Dominican (Rosado) at 6.25 in × 48.
On the palate, expect cedar, black pepper, and dark chocolate, leaning earthy. Plan on roughly 65 minutes from light to nub.
It's well regarded: Cigar Aficionado rated it 94/100 in 2014. 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 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.
