Fuentes... A couple questions

[StocktonJohn]

Can anyone help me identify which one this is? No cedar cover; got it in a trade a while back I think so it may have had one originally. The flavor is light and sweet.



Also, I had a great Fuente Belicoso as well that I can't identify. It had a medium brown wrapper and the standard black band. No cedar cover, but it was old and they may have been removed before I got it; in a trade. The taste was sweet, no spice and amazing. Maybe King B?

I'm kind of new to Fuentes, any help is appreciated.

What are the dimensions on the stick in picture? Looks like the newer band. But can be a lot of things depending on size was it cellophaned? Or no? If not cedar definitely could have been removed.

In regards to the second coat you asked about could have been a don Carlos number 2 or beli they have a Cameroon wrapper and will have more sweetness then the king b in my opinion king b should have some spice as well could go away with time tho.

The dimensions are 4.75 or so by 50. No cello.

Looks like a Chateau Fuente natural

Probably a natural Chataeu Fuente. Haven't seen new bands for their line, but the colors and size make sense. Though the lack of cedar is puzzling.

I think you're right about the cameroon wrapper. I remember the King B having that spice too, but the Don Carlos I've had were also much fuller bodied so it didn't seen to fit. This one had some age for sure, and I guess that is why it was so smooth and the sweetness came through so clearly.

It certainly had the Cameroon flavor more than a connecticut profile, but the band and lack of cedar make it tough to tell.

Looking at the pic, my guess is a Conny wrapper. But if it is a Cameroon, then it's probably the Rothschild which had no cedar as of the old bands.

 

[Fat_Risling]

No cedar on rothchilds believe they are connectivity. My guess to the Cameroon was the torpedo he described not the one pictured. Definitely either a chateau natural or a rothchild for the one in the pic.

My vote is going to be Chateau Natural. Great stick!

My guess is Rothschild or Chateau Natural. 4.5x50 would be closer to the Rothschild.

I think you're right. It looked like a Connecticut wrapper... But man the flavor was so much sweeter than I've ever experienced with a Connecticut. I'm gonna get more of them for sure.

Chateau nat. Nice easy going stick.
