Arturo Fuente
Opus X The Lost City Robusto Box of 8 Cigars
The Arturo Fuente Opus X The Lost City is a "Dominican Puro" of legendary status. The wrapper is a chocolate-brown Corojo leaf that is oily and impeccably smooth. The A.T. (Aluminum Tube) version is particularly desirable for travelers or gift-givers, as the cedar-lined tube protects the delicate wrapper and maintains the cigar’s humidity for a longer period.
The "Lost City" is distinct because it uses high-priming leaves harvested from a specific 2004 summer crop intended for movie sets, which resulted in a flavor profile that is deeper and more aromatic than the core Opus X line. It is a true "bucket list" cigar that pairs perfectly with a top-shelf Cognac, a Vintage Champagne, or a well-aged Rum.

Unlike the "powerhouse" spice of the standard Opus X, The Lost City is characterized by a more refined, creamy, and sophisticated profile.
First Third: Opens with a sophisticated cedar and almond profile. The signature Fuente "pepper" is there, but it presents as a soft white pepper rather than a sharp spice.
Second Third: The profile turns remarkably sweet and savory. You will find notes of caramel, cinnamon, and a distinct nutty creaminess. There is a subtle citrus acidity that provides a refreshing brightness to the smoke.
Final Third: The finish is long and luxurious. Expect lingering notes of leather, rich earth, and baking spices. It remains incredibly smooth until the very last puff.
