Fuente Fuente OpusX Original PerfecXion No. 5
PerfecXion No. 5 is one of original OpusX’s most slender compact formats. Fuente lists it at four and seven eighths inches with a 40 ring gauge. Only Petite Lancero is narrower in this collection, while Belicoso XXX combines a shorter length with substantially more width. Its family identity comes from Dominican-grown tobacco throughout the cigar. The wrapper is central to the OpusX story: Carlito Fuente’s work at Chateau de la Fuente challenged the assumption that the Dominican Republic could not produce suitable wrapper tobacco. The original expression carries that growing history across its different formats. PerfecXion No. 4 Series X adds a quarter inch and three ring-gauge points. That comparison shows how two neighboring numbered cigars differ in proportion within the same expression.
