Cigar Review for Patrol Fuente Opus X 25th Anniversary
My Review
Immediately a great draw and great construction. Great smoke production and good flavor right off the bat. I'm getting some tangy flavors with some leather. Very good start. Some strong spice and dried fruit. The tasting notes are very aligned with what I'm getting.
Just a little bit into it and the spices getting stronger. Also, the flavors are smoothing out a little bit.
Getting closer to halfway mark. The flavor profile is getting a bit more complex. Very good.
The flavors really coat your tongue.
As I keep getting further down a little bit past the midpoint the flavors are still developing still complex. Just a perfect smoke. You don't really get much better than this. This is a perfect score.
Come down to the label now, still excellent. Believe is there even more intense at this point. At $200 this is worth it. Definitely a special occasion cigar though.
