Nals. That’s because of the Americans that for decades couldn’t smoke Cubans. Believe me, no DR cigar van beat a Cuban R&J, Partagas E2, not to speak of a Cohiba siglo 6.
The Most Expensive Cigars You Can Buy
#1- Fuente Fuente Opus X – Up to $150
When Carlito Fuente debuted Fuente Fuente Opus X in 1995, he defied many established cigar-makers who told him quality wrapper leaf could not be grown in the Dominican Republic. Not only did he prove them wrong, he created a cigar that enjoys more demand than virtually any cigar on the planet.
Due to its rarity, Fuente Fuente Opus X is an expensive cigar. While classic Opus X sizes like the Perfecxion X, Perfecxion #2, and Robusto can easily command prices over $45 depending on where you buy them, harder-to-find shapes like the BBMF can sell for $150 per cigar. Even smaller shapes like the Chili Pepper or Angel’s Share can go for $75 apiece.
Every leaf of tobacco in Opus X is procured from the world-famous Chateau de la Fuente estates in the Dominican Republic. Because aging tobacco for long periods plays a critical role in all Fuente cigars, comparably small numbers of Opus X cigars are produced in a given year. They are made exclusively from tobaccos the Fuentes grow themselves. Carlito has never compromised quality to increase production and no Fuente cigar leaves his factory before optimal taste is achieved.
