Fuente Fuente Opus X Oscuro Oro Belicoso XXX

Among longtime Opus X fans, this figurado has picked up more nicknames than nearly any other release in the line — “Triple X,” “X3,” and most famously “Power Ranger” — a real testament to how much personality it’s built up over the years.

Construction & Origin

This Belicoso XXX measures 4⅝” x 49, part of Opus X’s Oro Oscuro release — a genuine step beyond the standard Opus X in both color and depth. What sets Oro Oscuro apart is its wrapper: the same Chateau de la Fuente sun-grown leaf used across the Opus X line, but given significantly extended fermentation and aging, producing a noticeably darker, more chocolatey character. It’s a true Dominican puro — wrapper, binder, and filler all sourced from the estate Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr. built specifically to prove world-class cigar wrapper could grow on Dominican soil. Handcrafted at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia, this figurado shape is genuinely rare, with extremely limited production even by Opus X standards.

Flavor Profile

Full-bodied and spicy, yet remarkably well-balanced for its intensity — expect dark cocoa, espresso, and aged cedar up front, developing into leather and black pepper, with a natural sweetness that lingers throughout. Flawless construction is a hallmark here, delivering a smooth, consistent draw and even burn from start to finish.

Why It’s Sought After

Between its genuine rarity, a reputation built over years among collectors who specifically hunt down the “Power Ranger” by name, and Oro Oscuro’s darker, more concentrated take on the legendary Opus X blend, this is a cigar that experienced smokers and serious Fuente collectors actively seek out. If you see it in stock, it’s worth grabbing — this one doesn’t sit on shelves long.
