Perfecxion 888 - Lonsdale 175mm / 17,5mm / 24er Kiste
Arturo Fuente
the legendary Dominican Puro
The world-renowned Fuente Fuente OpusX stands among the most sought-after cigar rarities, reaching Europe only once a year in extremely limited quantities. Crafted entirely from 100% Dominican tobaccos grown exclusively on the family’s Chateau de la Fuente estate, OpusX holds a special place in cigar history as the first ever Dominican Puro—and remains the only brand rolled entirely from Dominican leaf.
From its debut, OpusX made an explosive impact: honored multiple times as Cigar of the Year, it redefined expectations with its bold, spicy full-bodied profile. “Its arrival was like a nuclear reaction on the market—we essentially created the trend for complex, aromatic premium cigars,” recalls Carlos Fuente Jr.
Each OpusX showcases impeccable craftsmanship with a flawless draw, even burn, and a beautifully firm ash. Known for its rich, oily character and intense complexity, it is a true masterpiece designed for seasoned connoisseurs.
The story behind the name
Father and son Fuente worked side by side and decided to honor their family legacy by using their surname twice—Fuente Fuente. “Opus,” derived from Latin for “work of art,” reflects the cigar’s exceptional quality. The final “X” traces back to the original Project X, the code name under which their pioneering Dominican tobacco plantings began.
The Arturo Fuente Opus X Perfecxion 888 is a long, slender Lonsdale format cigar measuring approximately 175 mm in length with a ring gauge of 44. All tobaccos are sourced from the Dominican Republic and handcrafted at the renowned Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. This cigar is known for its complex, aromatic profile featuring notes of vanilla, cinnamon, nuts, and cedarwood, complemented by subtle sweetness and delicate coffee undertones.
