Fuente Fuente Opus X Robusto Specifications

Dominican Sun Grown Rosado Wrapper

The Robusto wears the sun grown rosado wrapper that defines the Opus X line, grown by the Fuente family at Chateau de la Fuente in the Dominican Republic. Opus X was the first Dominican puro to use a Dominican-grown wrapper, and that wrapper remains the blend's defining component.

Beneath the wrapper sit Dominican binder and Dominican filler tobaccos. Every leaf in the cigar comes from the Dominican Republic, which is what makes it a puro rather than a multi-country blend.

Robusto Format, 5.25" x 50

The Robusto measures 5.25 inches with a 50 ring gauge, which places it in the robusto format. It sits in the middle of the Opus X size range, longer and thicker than the line's petit corona sizes and shorter than its double coronas.

A 50 ring gauge is roughly 0.78 inches in diameter. The wider gauge leaves more room for filler tobacco alongside the wrapper, and the moderate length suits a smoke of about an hour rather than a full evening.

For other cigars in this traditional shape, see TRP's robusto cigars.

Full Strength and Listed Flavor Profile

TRP lists the Robusto as FULL strength. The strength classification describes the intensity of the tobacco and is separate from the cigar's individual flavor notes.

TRP's listed profile includes red pepper, cedar, leather, cocoa, dark cherry, sweet spice, espresso, and toasted nuts. These notes represent the product's listed tasting profile rather than a manufacturer-published tasting progression.

The red pepper and sweet spice notes carry the spice that Opus X is known for, while cedar, leather and toasted nuts give the listed profile its drier side and cocoa, dark cherry and espresso add depth.

Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia in the Dominican Republic

Opus X is made at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia in Santiago, Dominican Republic. The factory has produced the line since its introduction, and the wrapper is grown on the family's own farm rather than sourced from another country.

Opus X production is limited by the size of that wrapper crop, which is why individual sizes appear and disappear from retailer shelves. The Robusto is one of the line's best-known formats, and it is still released in limited quantities.

TRP carries Opus X across sizes and releases in its rare cigars selection.

Full-Strength Robusto for Experienced Smokers

The Robusto suits adult cigar smokers who want the Opus X blend in a classic mid-length format, and who prefer TRP's full-strength category. Its size makes it a practical choice for a smoke of about an hour, with the full strength the line is known for.

For pairing, the listed flavor profile works alongside aged rum, bourbon, Cognac VSOP, single malt Scotch, or anejo tequila. For coffee, TRP lists Cuban espresso, macchiato, dark roast drip coffee, cafe con leche, and Ethiopian pour over as pairing options.

Store the cigar in a properly maintained humidor with stable temperature and humidity rather than exposing it to repeated environmental changes. A stable storage environment helps protect the wrapper and maintain the cigar's intended condition until it is ready to smoke.
