The Story La Edición de la Sociedad by Opus X

The OpusX line from Arturo Fuente has long been a benchmark in the cigar world — a blend of heritage, innovation, and perfection. When Manny Iriarte Enterprises, known for its refined collaborations with Fuente, unveiled The Opus X Society La Edición de la Sociedad at the 2023 PCA Trade Show, it wasn’t just another release — it was a celebration of artistry and legacy.

This cigar was born from a creative dialogue between Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr. and Manny Iriarte, combining their vision for design, craftsmanship, and passion for excellence. While Iriarte is known for his mastery in aesthetic design, Fuente brought his unmatched blending expertise to craft a cigar that had never before been done within the OpusX line.

Released in October 2024, this blend honors both Fuente’s Dominican heritage and Iriarte’s modern vision, merging traditional cigar-making artistry with luxury presentation.
