I was in the walk-in humidor of the cigar lounge. I was looking for a strong cigar that would last at least 90 minutes. The options were many, but there was one who shined more beautifully than the others that night. It was the Arturo Fuente Opus X Perfecxion X from the Holiday Collection. When I laid my eyes on it, I knew I had to have it.
