Fuente Fuente OpusX Templo de Oro No. 13 — Box of 20

The No. 13 is the largest-ring-gauge size in the Templo de Oro range: a 6 × 58 Gordo, presented in a decorative 20-count box. “Templo de Oro” means “Temple of Gold,” a reference to the cigar’s light, golden-toned wrapper and gold foil sleeve. It is made in the Dominican Republic. Fuente has not publicly disclosed the wrapper, binder or filler blend. cigaraficionado.com

Compared with the bolder style many smokers associate with OpusX, Templo de Oro is intended as a milder, creamier expression. In one review, the No. 13 showed honey and cream alongside natural tobacco, cedar and pepper. Another reviewer found walnut, hay, dry spice and earth, and described it as mild. Those differences show that tasting impressions can vary; the blend itself remains undisclosed. Ccigar-coop.com

The broad 58 ring gauge gives this Gordo a substantial feel and produces a generous volume of smoke. Its flavour profile is described as moderate in intensity, with pepper and cedar providing contrast to the softer sweet, creamy notes. It may appeal to someone curious about OpusX who wants a gentler alternative to the line’s more powerful cigars. Ccigar-coop.com
