Fuente Unnamed Reserva 2013

[Donk]

Hey guys,

I had the opportunity to pick up five of these today, so I smoked one right away. It was a really good cigar, but I'm not a cigar aficionado to be able to write a review. If any of you brothers have smoke a few of these please let me and everyone else know your thoughts on the cigar.

Thanks,

 

[Donk]

Anyone? Really?

I have heard they are great, I have not had one I would buy if I was you as they can easily be sold

I would have, but I guess the shop only got one box and by the time I showed up and actually saw there was a box, there were 6 left in the box. So I bought 5 of them. now they're all gone.

The 2012 were very good and you don't have to be a professional reviewer to just let us know what you thought of it. We'd love to read what you thought about...just give us basic info or look at others as to how they reviewed a cigar...follow that template and let r rip. Some good info to add is:

How long it was in your humidor
What you drank with it
Torch or soft flame
Predominate flavor profile

Do you have any left...there might be those who would pay to take one off your hands and then smoke it and do a side by side review along with yours to see how they compare or contrast...could be interesting!!!!

first one i had, i hated, because i was in an "opus" mindset, i wanted the thing to just scream at me. it is not that cigar. it needs to be nursed, and have your full attention, as it is a lot more subtle than i first expected. (and a BIG thank you for the reminder, man!)

and i hav e had a head cold since the second, so no opportunity to go back and actually codify what i thought of it

yeah for some reason last year they were like $9.00 this year they Jumped to like $17.50 each.

 

[henjg124]

Yep, same here. Paid $7-$8 last year. This year they are $16-$18. I love Fuente's but I had to pass on em.

 

[CATom]

I loved last years! I also was looking forward to this years, but passed at $22 and some change.. Was bummed to say the least!

They are getting lots of high praise by some online blogs and review sites, but I haven't tried one. My local B&M does not carry them,and I haven't searched them out, so I cant' weigh in.

"Manufacturers do not raise price based on being named a top 25 cigar. Don't know how you can claim that as a fact."----This from another poster.....

I went halves on a box and smoked the toro the other day and really loved it.. I def agree with taking your time with it

Wow I think you got a pretty good deal last year!

 

[Craig Mac]

Last years cigars were a different blend and the price was much lower.

This year is a different cigar and price is higher from the manufacturer so price tag is higher. There is no conspiracy, 2 different blends, 2 different prices.

*Gasp* they have got to Craig...he must be in cahoots with Fuente now! This scheme, marketing ploy, and cover up is much bigger than anticipated.....

Disappointed the price for these raised as much as they did, it's strange to me that these are more expensive than Anejo sharks and most opus (including one size of the mew angels share). I have heard great reviews though and plan on trying one for myself

Yes sir, that's why I stocked up on them as I found them. Unfortunately I'll have to pass this year. Now I wish I would have got at least one of each size but I opted for more Anejo #46's instead.

Seems $17.50 is the going rate for the 2012s now if you try to score them on the secondary market. Frankly, the 2012 was one of my absolute favorite NCs last year.

 

[Phishman]

I think the price change was a big shock to everyone, but they say the tobacco that went into this years was more expensive. Who really knows lol, but I personally think this years UNR blew last years out of the water!

 

[JayD]

I really enjoyed the ones I got last year, had to pass with the price for this year.
