The Opus X 2020 Arena d’Amor isn’t your typical OpusX. This Dominican puro comes from the famed Château de la Fuente, but with a little extra something that sets it apart: richer tobacco and a bold personality.
The cigar greets you with notes of hay, leather, walnut, and cedar, layered with a smooth hint of honey. Once lit, it moves into a creamy, vegetal phase with a solid coffee backbone, softened by black pepper’s subtle kick. It’s a complex mix, yet surprisingly approachable for such a high-end stick.
Wrapped partly in cedar with a sleek silver band on the foot, the Arena d’Amor holds its own for a steady, refined smoke that’s made for those who know their cigars but appreciate a touch of adventure.
If you’ve been hunting for a rare OpusX with some unique flair, this is the one to keep an eye on.
