Description

Reserva d’Chateau shows how much the Opus X wrapper can shape the cigar when the ring gauge stays relatively slim.

Arturo Fuente Opus X Reserva d’Chateau is a 7 x 48 Churchill from the original Opus X line, the Dominican puro built around Fuente’s sun-grown Dominican wrapper tobacco from Chateau de la Fuente. Fuente lists this vitola in boxes of 32, and the length gives the blend a more measured pace than the shorter Opus formats.

The flavor usually begins with leather, wood, and spice, then opens into baking spice, nutmeg, earth, and a sweeter finish than the line’s reputation might suggest. Because the ring gauge is not oversized, the wrapper remains a major part of the profile all the way through. Ranked No. 1 in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2023, this is one of the clearest examples of Opus X in a long, wrapper-forward format.

Pairs well with cognac, bourbon, or espresso.
