Opus X El Escorpion & Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend

The Opus X El Escorpion Natural & Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend pairing represents something rare in the world of cigar and spirit combinations: a bourbon created specifically to stand alongside premium cigars. This Treasure & The Pour bundle pairs two exceptional cigars with a spirit that was engineered from the ground up for this exact ritual.

This bundle includes:

Opus X Heaven and Earth El Escorpion Natural (6⅜" × 50 Figurado) — Full-bodied, leather, cocoa, black pepper, controlled intensity

God of Fire Serie B Robusto — Medium-full, Connecticut Broadleaf, chocolate, pepper, aged 2+ years post-roll

Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Bourbon (750ml) — Armagnac-finished, tobacco, leather, vanilla, fig, dried apricot

The lead cigar is the Fuente Fuente Opus X El Escorpion Natural—a 6⅜" × 50 Figurado that concentrates the Heaven and Earth blend's intensity through its tapered head. The pointed vitola focuses every draw, delivering leather, cocoa, and black pepper with the smooth yet powerful character that defines the Opus X experience. The Dominican Rosado wrapper glistens with oils, signaling the complexity waiting within.

Accompanying the El Escorpion is the God of Fire Serie B Robusto—the dark side of the God of Fire portfolio. Wrapped in Connecticut Broadleaf, the Serie B delivers rich, slightly chocolatey notes with hints of pepper. Aged a minimum of two years post-roll, it's a cigar that occasional smokers can enjoy while veterans want to smoke daily. In this bundle, it offers a different angle on the same harmony.

The spirit completing this pairing is Joseph Magnus Cigar Blend Bourbon—and yes, it's exactly what it sounds like. Master Blender Nancy Fraley created this expression with premium cigars as her benchmark, combining award-winning Joseph Magnus bourbon with 11 and 18-year-old whiskeys, then finishing the blend in Armagnac, Sherry, and Cognac casks. The result is bold tobacco and leather notes, vanilla, blanched almonds, and toffee, with fruity notes of fig, prune, and dried apricot from the Armagnac finish. Each small batch is unique, numbered, and named.

What makes this pairing work is the intentional harmony. Nancy Fraley understood that cigar pairing isn't about contrast—it's about amplification. The bourbon's tobacco and leather notes mirror the El Escorpion's profile, while the Armagnac-cask dried fruit adds dimension without competing. The fig echoes the cigar's subtle sweetness; the oak meets the cedar. The God of Fire Serie B's chocolatey Broadleaf character introduces yet another layer of complementary richness.

Signature Serve: Neat in a Glencairn or rocks glass.
