A. Fuente Opus X - Templo De ORO No. 1 - Box 20

Arturo Fuente Forbidden X: Templo de Oro “Age of Gold”

The rarest holiday gift from the Chateau de la Fuente.

For years, the Forbidden X series has represented the pinnacle of Carlos "Carlito" Fuente Jr.’s craftsmanship—a "private reserve" of cigars born from the most prized tobaccos in the Dominican Republic. This holiday season, Carlito has broken the seal on his most closely guarded secret yet: the Templo de Oro, or "Golden Temple."

True to its name, the Templo de Oro introduces the "Age of Gold" to the OpusX legacy. While the Forbidden X line is traditionally known for its dark, brooding power, this release pivots toward elegance and ethereal refinement.

What Makes It Rare?

• The "Golden" Wrapper: Carlito has confirmed this cigar features a light, mild wrapper—potentially the mildest leaf ever used on an OpusX. It offers a luminous, golden aesthetic that stands in stark contrast to the traditional dark Opus wrappers.

• The Holiday Surprise: Shipped as a "stealth" release to select brick-and-mortar tobacconists, these were designed as a thank-you to the Fuente "extended family."

• Micro-Batch Production: As with all Forbidden X iterations, the Templo de Oro is produced in vanishingly small quantities, making it an instant centerpiece for any serious humidor.

The Experience

Expect the signature complexity of aged Fuente filler tobaccos, but reimagined through a lens of silkiness. The lighter wrapper promises a sophisticated profile where the spice is nuanced, the finish is creamy, and the aroma is nothing short of celebratory.

"We try hard to deliver that extra special surprise... saving the best for last to celebrate our marvelous journey in life together." — Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr.
