Sealed in the original box in mint condition Grand Pommier XS Calvados Extra Special Reserve MDCCCXXI 1821 Chateau de la Fuente Forbidden X Cigar in a Bottle. This sealed unopened bottle is in mint condition and is a highly collectable item. ! Bottle, cigar and box are in perfect condition and would be a great gift. From the beginning of time, the sumptuous apple has tantalized our spirit and tempted our soul. The Forbidden Fruit achieves perfection in the heart of Normandy, a historic region on the northwestern coast of France. For centuries, wars have been waged over this coveted land, home to the finest apples in the world.
The term Calvados designates not only the Norman province bearing its name but also the heavenly distilled spirit flowing from its rich soil. Since 1821, the cellar masters at the legendary Pere Magloire Calvados Distillery have been cultivating hundreds of varieties of trees bearing succulent apples from red to green and every spectrum in between.
Each year, the fruit is hand selected at different intervals of the growing season to produce a variety of flavors ranging from sour to sweet. Once harvested, the apples are cleaned in purified water, then crushed to extract their delicate juices.
Unlike most spirits, which are often distilled with additives, Calvados is made pure using a special double distillation process. The result is pure ecstacy, as the spirit is aged in French oak casks and then blended to create a bouquet of heavenly aromas.
For years, the French have enjoyed not only the exquisite flavor but also the unique digestive properties and effect on the palate making Calvados the ideal accompaniment before, during and after fine meals, chocolates and desserts.
Grand Pommier, French for great apple tree, represents an extra special reserve, the pinnacle of harvesting, aging, and blending excellence that has won Pere Magloire the distinction of being the world's finest Calvados distillery.

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.
