Arturo Fuente Opus X Angel’s Share Perfecxion X Tin
Experience the refined evolution of the legendary Opus X line with this exclusive tin of three Perfecxion X cigars, featuring the celebrated Angel’s Share blend that delivers a softer, more nuanced interpretation of Dominican excellence.
- Revolutionary Dominican Puro: Among the first all-Dominican cigars ever created, proving ultra-premium quality could be achieved with Dominican-grown wrapper
- Angel’s Share Innovation: Features specially selected middle-priming wrapper leaves for a smoother, more delicate profile than traditional Opus X
- Perfecxion X Format: The 6 1/4 x 48 size offers extended enjoyment with optimal flavor development throughout the smoking experience
- Collectible Tin Packaging: Three cigars housed in an elegant protective tin, perfect for preserving these rare treasures
- Most Sought-After Brand: Consistently ranked among Cigar Aficionado’s most requested cigars at retail for nearly five consecutive years
The Angel’s Share represents a masterful refinement of the classic Opus X profile. Named after the portion of spirits that evaporates during barrel aging, this special edition emerged from tragedy when fire destroyed two Fuente tobacco warehouses. The family interpreted this loss as the angels taking their share, blessing future endeavors in return. This philosophical approach extends to the cigar itself, where wrapper leaves from the middle priming create a more approachable yet equally complex smoking experience.
Each Perfecxion X delivers a symphony of flavors that sets it apart from standard Opus X offerings. The smoky natural tobacco sweetness interplays beautifully with notes of fruit, cream, and subtle earth tones. The Dominican sun-grown Habano wrapper, aged extensively beyond regular production standards, contributes a distinctive floral quality absent from the traditional line. This medium to full-bodied cigar evolves gracefully through each third, revealing toasted almond nuances and a creamy texture that has earned scores exceeding 90 points from leading publications.
The scarcity of Angel’s Share stems from its meticulous production requirements. Only select tobacco parcels from Chateau de la Fuente meet the exacting standards, and the extended aging process further limits availability. With approximately 90-105 minutes of smoking time, the Perfecxion X format allows connoisseurs to fully appreciate the blend’s complexity. This tin represents not just three exceptional cigars, but an opportunity to experience the softer side of Opus X mastery.
