Fuente Casa Cuba

[ar2381]

Is this cigar any good? My local B&M has a few left, and I've been thinking about buying a couple. Would it age well?

they are yummy, very old school, medium or down but with flavor and texture, but realize these are a year and a half old already. FWIW, they have aged well. o)

Great smoke. I have smoked the newest release and had a few from before then. And yes these do age well. The newer releases have a little more edge to them, but the subtle flavors in the more aged one are slightly more enjoyable in my opinion. Let me see if I can find one of my posts where I compared the two.

So, I guess that means I should buy a couple and smoke them rather than aging them? Maybe I should buy the six or so he has left.

I had one this weekend and it was surprisingly good. Very tasty, and not expensive.

This guy named Sean bombed me one of these once and it was off the slope I went. I just purchase a fiver of these per release. Sooooooo good!!

Picked up two of the 2013 Pre-Release, but I haven't gotten a chance to smoke them YET.

I have one resting that I got a few weeks ago, been wondering the same thing

Havent tried it personally but was told that it is important to smoke them slow or you will lose some of the nuanced flavors.

Smoked one last night there incredible!!

Interesting cigar. Definitely a construction that reminds me of the filled to the gills cuban. Draw is perfect. Smoke slowly for all of the nuance. The foot smells of barnyard and chocolate and the cold draw is chocolate.

I had one last night, and it was really really good. I think I might buy a couple more for my humidor as my B&M is almost sold out.

IIRC retailers got to buy a box, unknown size, if they got 25 boxes of fuente regular stuff at the show, kinda like the 858 and hemmi SG's, and this year the destiny beli and lance. (any of the federal or emerson's boys wanna give us a confirmation on that?) but, yeah, this is a really soft release, so if you like, pick them up soon.
