Opus XIV - Royal Tobacco is a blend of knowledge and aesthetic pleasure, guiding the senses along the Tropic of Cancer from Oman to Cuba, where Royal Frankincense meets Regal Tobacco.
The fragrance pays homage to the tradition of "El Lector," who read aloud to cigar makers in Cuban factories, captivating workers with novels like Les Misérables by Victor Hugo, and works by Honoré de Balzac, Stendhal, Edgar Allan Poe, and Herman Melville. This practice became an honored ritual, as integral to the rolling floor as the aroma of tobacco itself.
