The Opus X Rare Black Double Corona & Russell's Reserve Single Barrel pairing is designed for those who understand that the best experiences unfold over time. This Treasure & The Pour bundle pairs two exceptional cigars that reward patience with a bourbon that represents generational expertise.
This bundle includes:
Opus X Heaven and Earth Rare Black Double Corona (7" × 49+) — Full-bodied, intensified dark chocolate, espresso, leather, earth, 2-hour smoke
God of Fire KKP Never Back Down 58 (Piramide) — Full-bodied, VSW wrapper, chocolate, espresso, leather, building spice
Russell's Reserve Single Barrel (750ml) — 110 proof, non-chill filtered, toffee, vanilla, caramel, rye spice, leather
The lead cigar is the Fuente Fuente Opus X Rare Black Double Corona—among the most prized releases in the Heaven and Earth collection. The commanding Double Corona format (7" × 49+) wrapped in the darkest leaf in the lineup delivers a two-hour smoke where amplified dark chocolate, espresso, leather, and earth notes develop and evolve. This is a cigar that reveals new dimensions with each third, rewarding the patient collector with complexity that shorter vitolas simply cannot achieve.
The companion cigar is the God of Fire KKP Never Back Down 58—the most powerful expression in the 20th anniversary lineup. At 58 ring gauge, this Piramide delivers the full intensity of Chateau de la Fuente's rarest tobacco wrapped in the Very Special Wrapper (VSW). Expect chocolate, espresso, leather, earth, and spice that builds through the smoke, matching the Rare Black's commanding presence with its own distinct voice.
The spirit completing this bundle is Russell's Reserve Single Barrel—Wild Turkey's premium single barrel program representing generational excellence. Non-chill filtered at 110 proof, typically aged 8-10 years, and personally selected by Jimmy and Eddie Russell with their combined 100+ years at Wild Turkey. The result is signature toffee, vanilla, caramel, rye spice, leather, and aged oak with a creamy mouthfeel that defines quality bourbon.
What makes this pairing work is the shared commitment to time and tradition. The Rare Black Double Corona's maduro wrapper amplifies everything—dark chocolate becomes decadent, leather becomes rich, espresso becomes commanding—and the extended format lets those flavors develop across nearly two hours. Russell's Reserve at 110 proof brings Kentucky's finest: toffee and vanilla sweetness, rye spice, and that signature Turkey leather note that mirrors both cigars. The non-chill filtration preserves every nuance, just as the extended aging preserves every dimension of the cigars.
Signature Serve: Heavy rocks glass neat or with a small cube.
The Opus X Rare Black Double Corona & Russell's Reserve Single Barrel bundle is part of The Treasure & The Pour—a curated series pairing ultra-rare Opus X Heaven and Earth cigars with God of Fire companions and allocated spirits that match their rarity.
