Description
The Fuente Fuente OpusX PerfecXion No. 4 is a 5 1/8 x 43 corona with a Dominican wrapper, binder and filler. Fuente’s OpusX size chart labels it the PerfecXion No.4 Series X, packed 42 per box.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado scored the No. 4 at 91 points in a February 2025 rating, medium in strength. A floral start gave way to sugary spice: cinnamon, molasses, ginger, sassafras and clove, over a steady burn. A November 2012 Cigar Insider tasting gave it 90, finding a rich, heavy smoke of toast, wood, earth and vanilla with a tangy aftertaste, though the burn was not perfect.
Who It’s For
- Corona smokers who prefer a 43 ring to a thick robusto.
- OpusX newcomers wanting a smaller first taste.
- Fans of baking-spice sweetness like cinnamon and clove.

About the OpusX Line
Cigar Aficionado’s 20th-anniversary story says the project’s working title was “ProjectX From Planet 9,” and the final name joins opus with the letter X. It adds that OpusX is rolled using the entubado method and rests at least a year in cabinets kept closed.
