Cigar Review for Arturo Fuento Opus X Forbidden City 13 Natural Wrapper
My Review
Amazing construction, draw, smoke production. From the very first draw I am getting some very nice complex flavors. The smoke really coats the mouth. I'm pairing with this with a Lagavulin 16.
Hard to pinpoint the notes of this as they are pretty unique. Dried fruit? There a kind of roasted nut taste that is very prominent. Getting something close to a citrus note, but much more mellow and smooth.
About a third into it, the flavors are remaining pretty consistent. They have mellowed out a bit, but still full of flavor. Creaminess, leather, dried fruit, a touch of leather. Very complex. Really enjoying this so far, one of the best sticks I've had in a while.
About half way through, some of the darker notes are becoming more prominent. Some coco is coming through now. Very nice.
At the end, the flavors are still complex and delicious. I highly recommend this, the price was around $40, which I think is worth it.
