The Fuente Opus X Oro & Forbidden Belicoso 10-Cigar Sampler unites two legendary expressions from the Fuente Fuente Opus X portfolio—each representing a distinct evolution of the original Dominican puro that changed the cigar world forever. This sampler delivers ten Belicoso-format cigars showcasing the dark intensity of Oro Oscuro and the mystical complexity of the Forbidden X line.
This sampler includes:
Fuente Fuente Opus X Oro Oscuro Super Belicoso (5½" × 52) × 5 — Full-bodied, dark chocolate, espresso, black pepper, leather, earth, vanilla
Fuente Fuente Opus X Forbidden X Amor Sensual (6⅛" × 54) × 5 — Full-bodied, nutty, woody, caramel butteriness, cedar, spice, subtle sweetness
The Oro Oscuro Super Belicoso represents the dark side of Opus X. Born from the magic soils of Chateau de la Fuente, this full-bodied maduro version of the first-ever Dominican puro features specially selected Opus X wrapper that has been pampered with extra aging and fermentation. The result is a robust, balanced cigar with a dark chocolatey finish. The Super Belicoso format (5½" × 52) concentrates these intense flavors through its tapered Figurado shape, delivering nutty, spicy, and earthy notes with underlying pepper and vanilla.
The Forbidden X Amor Sensual represents the evolution of Opus X into something even more mysterious. Carlito Fuente ages this secret blend in Forbidden barrels in a hidden area of the Fuente factory—a process that captures what he describes as "the gods' magical and spiritual essence." The Amor Sensual (6⅛" × 54) delivers deliciously nutty and woody notes with a sensual caramel butteriness, complemented by earthy tones and a mild fruit bouquet. This is Opus X transformed into something truly otherworldly.
Together, these ten cigars offer a masterclass in what makes Opus X the most coveted premium cigar brand in the world. The Oro Oscuro brings commanding darkness—espresso, leather, earth. The Forbidden X brings mystical complexity—nuts, caramel, cedar, spice. Both showcase the flawless construction, exquisite flavor, and century of mastery that define every cigar bearing the Opus X band.
For collectors seeking to explore beyond the original Opus X blend, this sampler provides the perfect introduction to two of the line's most sought-after expressions. For aficionados already familiar with Oro Oscuro and Forbidden X, this is an opportunity to experience both in the concentrated intensity of the Belicoso format.
