Description

The Arturo Fuente Opus X Super Belicoso epitomises Dominican puro supremacy in tapered figurado form, measuring precisely 5 1/2 inches in length with a 52 ring gauge belicoso taper, handcrafted exclusively from rare Dominican Rosado sun-grown wrapper—cultivated on Fuente’s Chateau de la Torre estate—over matching binder and long-filler tobaccos for 60-75 minutes of full-bodied intensity showcasing Opus X’s revolutionary wrapper innovation. Its ruddy, oily Rosado wrapper, veined with robust oil sheen, yields a cold draw brimming with cinnamon spice, dark cherry sweetness, and red pepper zing promise, igniting the first third with explosive pepper surge, charred cedar potency, and leather richness surging dramatically on the retrohale—masterfully balanced by flawless draw, surgical burn line, and dense charcoal-flecked ash pillar exemplifying Fuente’s legendary construction mastery. Transitioning seamlessly midway, creamy espresso waves, toasted walnut depth, and clove complexity layer with candied orange fruitiness and baking tobacco intrigue, attaining profound sophistication without harshness. The tapered belicoso finale delivers intensified earthiness, lingering spice symphony, and caramelised tobacco purity that evolves masterfully, honouring Opus X’s trailblazing puro legacy. Ultra-exclusive boxes of 29 embody this collector’s pinnacle, pairing exquisitely with peaty Islay Scotch, vintage port, or Nicaraguan coffee for connoisseurs demanding Fuente’s boldest evolution. Universally revered as 95-rated perfection for impeccable performance, voluminous smoke, and masterful arc within elegant taper, the Super Belicoso delivers Dominican synergy at its zenith.
