Arturo Fuente OpusX VSG Illusion 6.5 × 44 (24) | Ultra-Premium Hand-Rolled Cigar
The Arturo Fuente OpusX VSG Illusion is an ultra-premium, hand-rolled cigar revered for its intensity, precision, and legendary craftsmanship. Measuring 6.5 inches with a 44 ring gauge, the Illusion vitola delivers a concentrated, full-bodied smoking experience designed for experienced smokers who appreciate depth, structure, and complexity. For Australian aficionados seeking one of the most iconic cigars in the world, the VSG Illusion stands as a benchmark of excellence.
VSG—short for Virgin Sun Grown—represents Arturo Fuente’s most celebrated wrapper tobacco, grown exclusively at Château de la Fuente in the Dominican Republic. This wrapper is exposed to direct sunlight, resulting in a leaf that is oily, robust, and richly flavoured, setting the OpusX line apart from all others.
Tobacco Origin & Blend
The OpusX VSG Illusion is composed entirely of estate-grown Dominican tobaccos, including the coveted Dominican Sun Grown wrapper, binder, and filler. This “puro” construction is rare and reflects the Fuente family’s mastery of cultivation, fermentation, and aging.
Each leaf undergoes extended fermentation and long-term aging, allowing the tobacco’s natural strength to mellow while preserving its complexity. The result is a cigar with remarkable balance despite its power, showcasing the pinnacle of Dominican cigar craftsmanship.
Flavour Profile, Strength & Aroma
This cigar delivers a full-bodied strength profile with a tightly focused flavour delivery due to its slimmer ring gauge. Expect bold, evolving notes of black pepper, cedar, leather, dark cocoa, roasted coffee, and subtle spice, with underlying sweetness emerging as the cigar develops.
The Illusion’s vitola enhances flavour concentration and burn efficiency, producing a clean, steady draw and dense, aromatic smoke. The aroma is rich and assertive, reflecting the depth and intensity of the VSG wrapper.
Craftsmanship, Curing & Aging
Every OpusX VSG Illusion is handcrafted by master torcedores, selected specifically for their experience with complex, high-strength blends. Construction is precise, ensuring consistent draw, firm ash, and even combustion throughout the smoking session.
Following rolling, the cigars are rested and aged extensively, allowing all components to harmonise. Arturo Fuente’s uncompromising quality control ensures that each cigar meets the exacting standards expected of the OpusX name.
