Question For Fuente Experts

[chefjohn]

My wonderful wife surprised me with the Fuente Opus X Story. The bands have 2015 on them. Does that indicate the year they were produced?

Fuente are adamant about fully aging their cigars before shipping.
If they were banded 2015,you can bet they had been kept the proper length of time to age,but the tobacco crop could have been 2012 or earlier.
The materials in the Story may answer this for you.
The additional time since packing will be a plus.

Thanks Nacho. I know these were aged in Calvados barrels. I’ve learned from reading a lot that Fuente is renown for the aging of their tobacco and I kind of thought the same as what you confirmed. Ahh, so much to learn but I’m loving the research.
