"(no tax)" means that you will not pay any sales or tobacco tax on these items, it has already been built into the retail price of the cigars.
"Forbidden X" is a broad moniker that applies to non-regular release Opus X cigars; the blend of various Forbidden X cigars may be different. Fuente has also created a new Forbidden X band used on some non-regular production cigars.
All of the Forbidden X-banded cigars shown here (except for the "Cigar in the Bottle cigar") are identical to their Opus X-banded brothers in terms of wrapper, blend, etc. for each given vitola.
Other Forbidden X cigars
Fuente has created a number of other non-regular production Forbidden X-banded cigars. Please browse the Rare Arturo Fuente Cigars gallery to view these cigars.
Of note:
To further emphasize the Fuentes' position on the store's purpose, the Fuente family opted not to be financial partners in the venture. The store is a straightforward licensing deal, structured as a partnership between the Freys and Levin, who pay an annual royalty fee directly to The Cigar Family Charitable Foundation.
The Fuentes gain nothing more out of this venture than donations towards their philanthropic pursuits, a tribute to their family's heritage, and a presence to increase brand awareness - which they are confident will directly translate into sales for all Fuente retailers.
