The OX Society

In 1992, Carlito Fuente Jr’s initial vision to create a name for a cigar with powerful significance and unique to its industry was born and introduced as “Project X from Planet 9.” The idea of cultivating and producing in the Dominican Republic became an obsession for Carlito. Deep commitment and the “don’t stop trying” mentality became his fundamental strengths in the 90’s. At that time, the birth of OpusX became a reality on a worldwide level. OpusX came to be a beloved son to Carlito. Vibrant colors, shapes, and passionate significance surround the brand and its design. Everything involving OpusX is first class. From its taste, top of the line packaging, labels, and presentation.
At the end of 2009, the cigar industry was recognizing a designer and photographer for his trendsetting ideas, projects, and top of the line results. His name, Manny Iriarte. Because of Manny’s impeccable reputation, marketing status, clients, and network, Manny met Carlito Fuente Jr. in hopes of combining two great talents for one common purpose. Moving forward, their friendship, family, and commitment became the foundation for their unified collaboration on all projects.The collaboration in design and creativity with prestigious Swiss watch brand Hublot, the leader in high-end lighters S.T. Dupont, the exclusive Italian tailor Stefano Ricci, and the best French humidors in the world, Elie Bleu, are just some of the many lucrative brands that Manny Iriarte is a part of. His advanced ideas also include the commemorative 20th and 25th-anniversary edition of the OpusX cigar. Luxurious and unique numbered pieces, with immediate selling power, are the basis of Manny Iriarte’s work.
