The OpusX Reserva d'Chateau is the line's churchill — a seven-inch cigar at a 48 ring gauge. It offers the legendary Dominican puro in a long, elegant format that many smokers find a touch more refined and balanced than the line's smaller, more concentrated sizes.

What it tastes like

The proprietary Dominican Rosado wrapper still drives a full-bodied profile — cedar and black pepper, dark chocolate, leather, and a sweet-spice finish — but the longer, slightly slimmer churchill format smooths the intensity into something more graceful. It's a complex, evolving smoke that rewards a patient hour-and-a-half, with the OpusX power present but well-mannered.

Who it's for

An aficionado's choice for those who want OpusX complexity in a longer, more elegant cigar. The body still demands an experienced palate, but the format makes it one of the smoother ways to enjoy the blend. Pair it with an espresso, cognac, or aged rum.

For more concentrated OpusX, the Robusto and PerfecXion No. 2 pack the blend into smaller formats. Given the strength, the cigar strength guide is a useful reference. Rate it in the Casa DNC app.
