Arturo Fuente Exquisitos

Hey guys.. I've been picking a few of these nearly each time I'm at the B&M. I'm partial to the Maduros myself. A nice little 15 - 20 minute smoke or so when I don't have time for anything longer (or it's frigan cold outside :glassesgr).

I thought I overheard someone at the B&M mention that they were filled with scraps from Opus X, but that seemed a little strange, yet believable since obviously they wouldn't want to put good tobacco to waste.

Does anyone know if there is any truth to this? I tried looking around Google a bit, but couldn't really find much on it.

Thanks!

Bump just in case anyone had any info.

I feel like they may contain scraps of all of their cigars, not just the Opus X. It seems that most of their short fillers brag about having "premium scrap tobacco" in them. I'll have to give these a try though, is the cameroon any good?

"It is reportedly a cigar rolled using the scraps from the more expensive brands produced by Fuente." From a review of the Fuente Curly Head

"A well-made smooth and spicy cigar. Cut filler, made from the scraps of Fuente's super premium cigars. A very good everyday smoke" Product Description of the It's a boy cigar

Makes sense to me.

The Cameroon is alright. I found it a bit more harsh than the maduro. I'll be sticking to the Mad exclusively now.
