Description
The Fuente Fuente OpusX 2020 Arena d’Amor is a 5 x 52 robusto made with Dominican wrapper, binder and filler at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. It is the shortest of three sizes in the OpusX 2020, the blend collectors nicknamed the “OpusX Dubai.”
What It Tastes Like
We found no published review of the Arena d’Amor itself, so we list no score for it. Its larger sibling, the Sol d’Amor, earned 90 from Cigar Coop on June 24, 2025 at medium strength, led by coffee, citrus and natural tobacco over cedar, earth and black pepper. halfwheel’s redux of the Sol d’Amor, with a score of 92 labelled June 2025, picked up cedar and peanuts early, then cocoa nibs, toasted bread and citrus peel later on.
Who It’s For
- OpusX followers who want the Dubai blend in its shortest format.
- Robusto smokers who like a 52 ring.
- Collectors drawn to its cedar sleeve and UAE-colored band.
