Description
A rare OpusX release with one of the most unusual stories in Fuente history.
Arturo Fuente OpusX The Lost City Piramide was born from tobacco grown at Chateau de la Fuente during an unusual summer crop planted specifically to recreate the look of a Cuban tobacco farm for the film The Lost City. After filming, the tobacco was harvested and aged before becoming this extraordinary special release. citeturn0search0
This is a 100% Dominican puro, featuring Dominican wrapper, binder and filler tobaccos. The Piramide format measures approximately 6 x 52, with some current retailers listing 6⅜ x 52; the Stogies listing follows the 6 x 52 specification associated with this SKU. citeturn0search0turn0search1
Flavor profile: Expect a sophisticated combination of baking spice, raisins, earth, caramel and almond, with the aged Dominican tobaccos bringing depth and sweetness. Cigar Aficionado rated the Piramide 93 points and described a rich, sweet smoke with baking spice, raisins, earth, caramel and almond. citeturn0search2
Why collectors seek it: The Lost City isn't simply another OpusX vitola. Its tobacco is tied directly to the film project, the special summer crop at Chateau de la Fuente, and years of aging before production. A portion of proceeds from the release was also directed toward the Lost City Scholarship Fund benefiting students in the Dominican Republic. citeturn0search0
Stogies Says: With only one currently available, this belongs in the Rare & Limited category. At $44.99, it's a serious special-occasion smoke for the Fuente collector or aficionado who wants an OpusX with a story behind it.
