Description
The Fuente Fuente OpusX 20 Years Double Corona Cigar Family Charitable Foundation Event Exclusive is the very definition of an elusive Fuente. Created specifically for Cigar Family Charitable Foundation events, this extraordinary Double Corona was never conceived as a conventional retail release. It belongs to the rarefied world of special Fuente cigars produced for charitable events, private occasions, and extremely limited collections, making it a prize that even dedicated OpusX collectors may never encounter.
The exclusivity of this cigar cannot be overstated. While Fuente Fuente OpusX is already one of the most sought after names in premium cigars, this particular Double Corona takes scarcity to an entirely different level. Its Cigar Family Charitable Foundation Event Exclusive designation means availability has historically been tied to special charitable events rather than normal Fuente distribution. It is precisely the type of cigar that exists outside the traditional retail pipeline, where simply having access to rare OpusX does not guarantee an opportunity to acquire one.
Its extraordinary status was further cemented by its inclusion in La Gran Fumada “The Impossible Collection of 13” Volume II, an assortment specifically assembled from some of the rarest and most difficult to obtain cigars in the Fuente universe. The collection included aged selections, unusual vitolas, special releases, and cigars originally reserved for events or other highly restricted channels.
Even The Impossible Collection itself was limited to only 500 boxes worldwide, meaning only a tiny number of these event exclusive Double Coronas entered circulation through that release. Individual examples have also surfaced only sporadically on the secondary retail market and have quickly appeared as sold out, further illustrating just how difficult this cigar can be to obtain outside its original context.
At its heart is the unmistakable pedigree of Fuente Fuente OpusX, the legendary Dominican puro that transformed perceptions of what Dominican tobacco could achieve. OpusX is built around prized Dominican tobaccos, including the celebrated wrapper grown at the Fuente family’s Chateau de la Fuente estate. Even regular OpusX production has historically represented only a small fraction of Fuente’s overall cigar production, with its coveted wrapper tobacco produced in comparatively low yields.
The stately Double Corona format provides an exceptional canvas for this legendary blend. Its extended smoking time allows the tobacco to develop gradually, revealing layers of cedar, leather, earth, baking spice, pepper, dried fruit, and natural sweetness, with the richness and aromatic complexity that have made properly aged OpusX cigars legendary among aficionados.
Yet the experience of this cigar extends far beyond its tobacco.
The Fuente Fuente OpusX 20 Years Double Corona Cigar Family Charitable Foundation Event Exclusive represents an intersection of Fuente history, philanthropy, and extreme scarcity. The Fuente family’s relationship with the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation is deeply intertwined with OpusX, with special releases, auctions, and events helping raise funds for the foundation’s charitable work in the Dominican Republic.
This is not simply a limited edition OpusX. It is an event exclusive that was never intended to be readily available in the first place.
For the serious Fuente collector, finding one represents the opportunity to acquire a cigar from a category few aficionados ever have access to: an OpusX originally reserved for Cigar Family Charitable Foundation events and subsequently chosen for a collection Fuente appropriately called “The Impossible Collection.”
Rare Fuente cigars are difficult to acquire. Rare OpusX cigars are harder still.
An OpusX created specifically for Cigar Family Charitable Foundation events is something altogether different.
When one appears, there is no telling when another will surface.
