Among best of the best of these cigars is the Fuente OpusX X3, also known as the “Power Ranger.” The Opus X line is considered to be among the chief cigars responsible for putting the DR on the map for cigar production, and is always highly ranked and acclaimed by critics and experts.

Other popular brands such as Romeo y Julieta, Macanudo, Fonseca and Monetcristo are following suit by offering stronger varieties of what were once milder smokes (try the Montecristo Platinum or the Montecristo White).
