The FFOX Opus X Story Forbidden X Blue is one of the most sought-after collector's packages Arturo Fuente releases each year — four rare vintage Fuente Fuente Forbidden X cigars in a blue Prometheus travel humidor alongside the exclusive publication "20 Years of Fuente Fuente OpusX," a personal interview with Carlito Fuente and a richly illustrated history of two decades of the Opus X legacy. Released just twice annually in limited quantities — 700 sets per colorway — the Opus X Story moves through allocations quickly and rarely lingers at retail for long.
Every Forbidden X inside is a full Dominican puro sourced from the rarest tier of tobacco Chateau de la Fuente produces. The vintage aged Dominican Shade Grown wrapper is pulled from the Fuente family's private tobacco inventory — very old stock that Carlito barrel-ages in a restricted area of the factory before it ever reaches a roller. That aging process, combined with the exclusivity of the estate-grown leaf, gives the Forbidden X its unmistakable character — a smoothness and depth that sets it apart from every other release in the Fuente catalog. One Robusto, one Double Robusto, and two Toros give you the full picture of how the blend performs across ring gauges and lengths.
Medium in strength and remarkably smooth from first draw to last, the profile moves through caramel and spice up front, oak and cedar building through the middle, and a clean leather finish with the natural sweetness only barrel-aged, estate-grown Dominican tobacco can deliver. The blue humidor is a keeper. So are the four cigars inside it.
