Opus X Belicoso XXX (42)

OpusX Belicoso XXX — nicknamed the “Power Ranger” or “Triple X” — is one of the most sought-after vitolas in the entire OpusX portfolio. The compact, sharply tapered Belicoso concentrates all the intensity of the legendary Dominican puro into a shorter, more focused session, and this collector’s box of 42 is a rare fasovka reserved for the most serious OpusX enthusiasts. Rated 96 points by Cigar Aficionado and named one of its Top 25 Cigars of the Year in 2005, the Belicoso XXX remains a benchmark for what a full-bodied Dominican cigar can be.

Expect a full-bodied profile with leather, black pepper, and cedar at the core, joined by dark cocoa, wood, and gentle baking spice, all concentrated by the tapered head into a rich, layered finish that carries the OpusX signature intensity from the first draw to the last.

Our suggestion for cigars of similar strength:
Opus X Fuente Fuente
Arturo Fuente FFOX Reserva D’Chateau

This Belicoso measures 117mm with a 49 ring gauge, hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. as a true Dominican puro, with wrapper, binder, and long-fillers all grown on Fuente’s own Château de la Fuente estate. Presented in a collector’s box of 42 cigars.

Ideal with an aged rum, a fine cognac, or a barrel-strength bourbon — also pairs excellently with a strong espresso or a piece of dark chocolate to match its rich, spicy character.
