Review Notes: Yes, this cigar is very hard to find and they can be pricey. Stock up on them if you can. The appearence is unique. The construction is very impressive. The aroma of the leaf is intoxicating. The flavor is delicious, filled with complexity. It's a truly special smoke. This is not for beginners. Ratings below a 6 are riduculous - even for someone who did not like it at all. The appearence and construction are worth the 6 alone. I think Kong should review the 'Fighting Cock' brand next.

Review Notes: Fuente sure knows how to create demand around a really great smoke. The SHARK is almost my favorite smoke, several Cubans claim that honor. But as an American who can only buy non-Cuban smokes, I have to say the SHARK is still a fantastic smoke. What I really enjoy about this stick is how it changes it's character from lightup (really nice first dozen puffs) thru the middle (increasing complexity) and the end (burn my fingers I am falling over stunned). This is not a cigar for a new smoker, it will make your head spin and if you recover, it will spoil you.

Review Notes: If fuente would actually release this cigar it may be higher rated in my book. The availability sucks.

Review Notes: I work at a cigar bar (technically the restaurant connected to it, but it's all the same) and they happen to get these in around the Holidays (at $17, no less), so I always grab up as many as they will let me. Without fail I am blown away every time. They are simply wonderful

Review Notes: This cigar from the pre-light to the lip and finger burning end was a joy to smoke. I guess the worst part of smoking one of these is burning yourself trying to get the last puff of awesome tasty smoke.......ummm....ummmm....ummmmmmm.........OUCH!!!!!!!
