Arturo Fuente
Opus X The Lost City Robusto Single Cigar
The Arturo Fuente Opus X The Lost City Robusto is visually stunning, featuring a dark, reddish-brown wrapper with a silky, oily sheen. Every cigar is adorned with the iconic Opus X band and a secondary black and gold "The Lost City" band.
Because summer-crop tobacco is rare and difficult to harvest, production of this line is extremely limited. It is a prized addition to any humidor and is frequently cited as one of the best "celebration cigars" in the world. It pairs beautifully with a fine Cognac, an aged Añejo Tequila, or a rich, buttery Chardonnay.

The Lost City is often described as the "sophisticated cousin" to the standard Opus X. It trades raw power and intense spice for creamy complexity.
First Third: A very smooth opening of cedar, cashews, and white pepper. There is a delicate sweetness that hints at caramelized sugar.
Second Third: The profile becomes richer and more aromatic. Notes of cinnamon, toasted bread, and a distinct cherry-like fruitiness emerge. The smoke texture is exceptionally creamy and "chewy."
Final Third: The finish is elegant and long-lasting. Savory notes of leather and rich earth take center stage, accented by a return of the baking spices on the retrohale.
