This is a side-by-side study of two distinct philosophies from Chateau de la Fuente: the revolutionary Dominican puro that changed the cigar world, and the ultra-premium collaboration that elevated an already legendary family to even greater heights.
This sampler includes:
Fuente Fuente Opus X Double Robusto (5¾" × 52) × 5 — Full, baking spices, caramel, boozy cherry cordial, rum barrel, leather, earth
God of Fire by Carlito Double Robusto (5¾" × 52) × 5 — Medium-full, cedar, tea, leather, white pepper, nuts, espresso, cinnamon
Fuente Fuente Opus X Double Robusto — The Opus X is the cigar that proved the impossible was possible. In 1995, Carlito Fuente defied conventional wisdom by growing wrapper tobacco in the Dominican Republic—something experts said couldn't be done. The result was the first Dominican puro and, in the opinion of many aficionados, the pinnacle of cigar perfection. The Double Robusto (5¾" × 52) showcases the full power of the Opus X blend: a strong, polished smoke of baking spices, caramel, boozy cherry cordial, and a hearty rum barrel finish. This vitola was rated 97 points and named #2 Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado in 2020.
God of Fire by Carlito Double Robusto — God of Fire represents the collaboration between Prometheus and the Fuente family, released annually in extremely limited quantities since 2004. The By Carlito expression is indisputably the boldest in the God of Fire portfolio—a potent, peppery cigar with a rich mix of subtle flavors. The Cameroon wrapper delivers full-bodied character with tones of cedar, tea, leather, white pepper, and espresso. Despite the medium-to-heavy balance, there's a delicate sweetness that balances the pepper, creating remarkable complexity.
Together, these ten cigars represent two masterworks from the Fuente family in the same format. The Double Robusto offers the perfect balance of smoking time (approximately 75-90 minutes) and wrapper-to-filler ratio, allowing both blends to express their full character. This sampler answers the eternal question posed by Fuente collectors: which is greater—the revolutionary puro or the ultra-premium collaboration?
The answer? Smoke both and decide for yourself.
The Dominican Rosado vs. Cameroon Comparison
The Opus X Double Robusto showcases the legendary Dominican Sun Grown Rosado wrapper that Carlito cultivated at Chateau de la Fuente—the wrapper that launched a revolution. The God of Fire by Carlito wraps Dominican long-fillers in the finest Cameroon wrapper available, creating a profile similar to the exclusive Casa Fuente blend sold only in Las Vegas.
Both cigars are handcrafted at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia in the Dominican Republic. Both represent the absolute pinnacle of the cigar maker's art. Both are impossibly difficult to find.
The Fuente Opus X & God of Fire Double Robusto 10-Cigar Sampler is available exclusively at The Tobacconist of Greenwich.
