Anyone else jump on these?

$89.50 for a 10ct box. Pre-orders ship next Tuesday. I ordered on a whim and now a few reviews are out which seem promising (which I'm happy about because I purchased blind). They are mild to medium. Kinda switches up my portfolio because most of my cigars are strong. Sounds like a nice morning/lunch cigar.

He are a few details...

Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper

batch of cigars rolled over six years ago

Size: 6 x 49

550 boxes

Thanks All

James

They sound very interesting but some of the milder fuente's are hit or miss with me. I'd rather give one a shot or grab a fiver before a box. The fact that they were rolled 6 years ago is a major plus though!

I personally find more enjoyment smoking creamy cigars isntead of pepper bombs so this seems right up my alley. I will probably order a 5er when I get my next paycheck.

Where did you get a preorder on these?

I'm so happy more of the makers are coming out with 10ct boxes, I'm willing to buy blind in a heartbeat if it's a 10ct.

def agree with CO on this one, ive had mixed experiences with the fuentes and lean toward a more full bodied stick. wouldnt mind trying one if you guys find them to be alright tho (6 years helps!!)

The 3 reviews I read all ranked them between 89-91, cant bee too bad. The halfwheel review is really good on them.

I preordered a box a week or two ago. With a 10ct box it's easy to pull the trigger. If they're good, hopefully there will be a large enough supply to go back--the other microblends haven't sold out quickly.

After going so heavily into CCs late last year, I am definitely always looking for milder NCs with good flavor. Hope these stack up.

I preordered a box when I first saw they were available. They should be an interesting change up from what I normally smoke, and I'll trade them to some of my Fuente whore friends if I don't like them.

I ordered two boxes last night since they seemed cheap enough, funny I remember being on a pre order list but can't remember where so I guess that was a bust. I hope I like them if not the troops will.
