Opus X Tauros The Bull Natural & A Midwinter Night's Dram

The Opus X Tauros The Bull Natural & A Midwinter Night's Dram pairing launches The Treasure & The Pour series with one of the most commanding presences in the Heaven and Earth collection. This is a bundle built around intensity, rarity, and the kind of flavor bridges that transform an evening into a ritual.

This bundle includes:

Opus X Heaven and Earth Tauros The Bull Natural (6" × 62 Toro) — Full-bodied, aged cedar, leather, dark chocolate, red pepper, floral sweetness

God of Fire Don Carlos Robusto — Medium-bodied, cedar, cream, hazelnut, aged 3+ years post-roll

A Midwinter Night's Dram (750ml) — Port-finished rye, plum, dried fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, mulling spices

At the center of this pairing is the Fuente Fuente Opus X Tauros The Bull Natural—a massive 6" × 62 Toro wrapped in the legendary Dominican Rosado leaf grown exclusively at Chateau de la Fuente. This isn't a cigar you smoke casually; it's a cigar you schedule your evening around. The Tauros delivers full-bodied Dominican complexity with layered notes of aged cedar, rich leather, dark chocolate, and red pepper spice, with subtle floral sweetness emerging in the final third as the cigar evolves.

The companion cigar is the God of Fire Don Carlos Robusto—the medium-bodied cornerstone of the God of Fire line. Aged a minimum of three years post-roll, it delivers signature cedar, cream, and hazelnut notes with exceptional smoothness. For collectors new to the Fuente ultra-premium tier, the Don Carlos offers an accessible gateway to this pairing's profile without the commanding intensity of the Tauros.

The spirit completing this bundle is A Midwinter Night's Dram—High West's legendary limited release and one of the most sought-after American whiskeys. Released only once per year in autumn, this port-finished rye imparts distinctive notes of plum, dried dark fruit, vanilla, cinnamon, and mulling spices. The result is a remarkably dessert-like profile that cuts through the cigar's power while amplifying its complexity.

What defines this pairing is how the port-barrel sweetness interacts with the Opus X's spice. A sip before a draw softens the Tauros' red pepper intensity; a sip after the draw deepens the finish, pulling the cigar's subtle floral notes forward and wrapping them in the whiskey's dried fruit and vanilla. The plum echoes the Opus X's natural sweetness. The vanilla meets the cedar. It's warmth meeting warmth.

Signature Serve: Neat in a Glencairn to capture the port-finished aromatics.

The Opus X Tauros The Bull & A Midwinter Night's Dram 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. Available exclusively at The Tobacconist of Greenwich.
