Sensory Blend Profile
The No. 50, a 5¼ x 50 robusto in a dark Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper aged in Cognac barrels. Dense smoke of earth, leather, coffee and dark chocolate, with a tang of dried orange peel and a woody, caramel-tinged finish.
Hurricane Georges damaged Chateau de la Fuente in 1998 and left Fuente short of OpusX wrapper, so Carlos Fuente Jr. put an aged Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over the OpusX filler and binder. The broadleaf is aged in Cognac barrels. Añejo debuted in 1999 and reached stores in 2000; the No. 50 is one of the original sizes, and the line has traditionally shipped only twice a year.
