If you polled every cardiologist in America, you would get answers all across the board. It would be the same if you asked about drinking cola, eating fast food, alcohol consumption, etc. All of these activities are not particularly healthy for the heart muscle. How unhealthy they really are is...

Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Habano. Not necessarily touted as a super heavy blend but this cigar was recommended to me at a cigar shop as a nice "medium" option when I got back into smoking. It was not medium bodied. I actually quite liked the cigar but smoked it before bed and was hopped up on nicotine...

Thanks, guys! I'm really glad to have found this community. Wishing you all well.

The cigar piggy bank is empty.

Fun little smoke.

Sounds like you enjoy a Cameroon wrapper. Any thought to giving the Don Carlos a try?

The cigars arrived today in perfect condition and included a thank you note from Mr. Fuente. I'd say the Destino al Siglos are about a shade darker than the OG Opus X double corona on the left, but they do not appear as dark as the Oro Oscuro. I'm going to give them some time to settle into my...

Pretty cool experience today as Mr. Arturo Fuente Jr. personally called me to answer my question about the cigars. I actually missed him while I was in a meeting at work and when I called back he took the time to step out of his meeting to have a discussion with me. Not only did Mr. Fuente...

Nothing wrong with options!

After taking a look at the photos you sent, I found a review Destino al Siglo Shark release from a few years ago that has very similar branding to the sampler cigars. The article suggests that these are a Rosado version of the Oro Oscuro -- similar to the photo. It seems I may never find a...

I agree, Vivino is a pretty good source. If you don't mind spending some money and want a very dry red, Brunello de Montalcino Reserva is typically a good direction to look. It's drier and earthier than Cabernet Sauvignon. Poggio Landi Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva is one I've had a good...

I did. Will be heading over there when I have access to a keyboard to write a proper post. Stuck on the phone for now.

Thanks. I originally thought Oro Oscuro as well, but the descriptions of the cigars do not match the Oro Oscuro line. For example, the Reserve D'Chateau offered in the sampler is listed on the website as being an example of the 2023 cigar of the year. The Oro Oscuro did not win cigar of the...

Thanks to both of you for the responses. I am definitely not questioning the authenticity of the items, just interested in what separates these cigars from the standard Opus line of my own nerdy interests. I'll have to reach out to them to see what info I can get!

Hi Everyone, A friend of mine purchased a sampler pack of cigars for me from a store called Tampa Sweethearts. Based on my research, it seems like they are a legit retailer. 5 of the 6 cigars have a secondary band that says Destino Siglo 1912-2012 underneath the Opus X band and a yellow ribbon...
