In the heart of Santiago's industrial zone in the Dominican Republic lies the world's premier training academy for aspiring hand cigar rollers.

Each year, the Fuente Cigar Family recruits the most talented rollers who demonstrate the skill, passion and desire that are the hallmarks of the Fuente name.

From this elite corps of Fuente inductees, the field is narrowed even further to those select few who prove themselves worthy of hand rolling the legendary Fuente Fuente Opus X cigar. These are the top guns of the Fuente arsenal.

Since the establishment of Chateau de la Fuente in 1992, a handful of these artisans have excelled at creating custom cigars of special shapes, sizes and colors.

To maintain the secrecy of these prized creations, a Forbidden Room has been erected with the same exacting standards as the cigar sculptures themselves.

The Fuente Fuente Forbidden X symbolizes the art of perfection, as seven different varieties of silken tobacco leaves grown from the rich soil of Chateau de la Fuente are elegantly assembled by the Fuente masters.

From the magnificent proportions to the lush, oily wrapper, every detail evokes a sense of splendor and an appreciation for fine craftsmanship. Once finished and painstakingly examined for quality control, each masterpiece is delicately placed for aging in a French oak cask once home to Calvados, a heavenly spirit distilled exclusively from apples grown and harvested in the Normandy region of France.

According to Carlos Fuente, Jr., the blend of aromas of this opulent cigar exudes so much pleasure that it should be forbidden to smoke except on the rarest of occasions. To protect this precious gem and prevent the escape of natural oils, a patented glass chamber hand blown in the south of France is sealed to perfection. Inside, a custom Humidipak humidor replicates the tropical climate of its heavenly birthplace, Chateau de la Fuente.

To complete this sensual fantasy, the Fuente Fuente Forbidden X is encapsulated by the Forbidden Fruit, Grand Pommier XS Calvados. An equally sinful combination of natural elements, every coveted bottle of Grand Pommier XS contains a blend of over 100 different varieties of Norman apples aged from 30 to 40 years.

As sin begets sin, the seductive pleasures of the Forbidden X and Forbidden Fruit combine to stimulate the palate and captivate the soul. Seven years in the making, Cigar In The Bottle was patented, developed and perfected for the most discriminating connoisseur. Complete with a jewelry-grade gift box, Cigar In The Bottle is the perfect gift for the man who has almost everything.
