FFOX Angel's Share PerfecXion X

Backstory: The Angel's Share line was inspired by tragedy. In 2012, a warehouse fire destroyed irreplaceable Fuente tobacco that had been aging since the late 1940s and 1950s — leaf the family had been saving for the 100-year anniversary. Carlito Fuente named the cigar after the Angel's Share, the wine and spirits term for the portion of liquid that evaporates from a barrel during long aging — said to be sipped by guardian angels watching over the cellar.

Release: First debuted October 2012 and brought to market in 2013 to commemorate year one of the second century of Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. Released since as a highly sought-after limited / annual production. Available in 32-count boxes and 3-count tins.

Tobacco: Dominican puro using middle-priming wrapper leaf — distinct from the top-priming used on the core Opus X. The result is intended to be softer and more refined while keeping the Opus X character. Filler and binder are vintage, estate-grown tobaccos from Chateau de la Fuente in the El Cibao Valley, Dominican Republic.

Color: Wrapper appears noticeably lighter than the core Opus X — a medium brown with a subtle rosado tint, silky smooth and essentially seamless. Confirms Colorado enum classification.

Strength: Reviewers describe it as medium to medium-full — a softer expression of the Opus X profile aimed at smokers who find the standard Opus X overpowering. Some palates push it toward full; medium-full captures the consensus.

Fun Fact: The Angel's Share family has anchored several ultra-premium collaborations, including the Elie Bleu Paris Opus X Angel's Share Collection — only 92 sets produced for the entire world, headlined by the never-before-produced Stairway to Heaven (7.25" × 56 figurado) and a $17,500 humidor.

Fun Fact: Despite the X in the name, the PerfecXion X is a straight-sided Toro (Parejo), not a Perfecto — the X is Fuente's vitola-naming convention across the Opus X line and does not describe the shape.
