Review Notes:
Similar experience as my last review. Flavors this time were more pronounced, deeper, and creamier. Overrated. Overpriced.

Review Notes:
Typical top notch Arturo Fuente quality regarding appearance, burn, and draw. Some smooth, mild, and nice, woodsy flavors with some "cammy twang "but it was one dimensional and not worth a $10 MSRP.
I scored a fiver for $35 on cbid. At $7 a throw it's still overpriced. I aged this stick for about 6 weeks. I'll age the rest a lot more with some stronger sticks in hopes of marrying some complexity to these. If you like your cigars very mild and smooth this may be for you but a well aged cameroon Compay, H Uppman, Vegas de Fonseca, or COA L'anniversaire would provide you with a similar or better flavor profile for nearly half the price. With any of the well known brands (AF, Ashton, Graycliff, Montecristo) you are paying an extra $5 for the priviledge to take the label off.

Review Notes:
In Jul 06, I focused on smoking 5 different cigars, all of which were aging in my humidor for at least 6 months. I only smoke about 15 cigars a month, so value isn’t that important to me, but I’ll rate each cigar that way on this site. However, just so you know, value aside, the overall standings for the month were, 1. La Gloria Cubana Torpedo (maduro); 2. God of Fire by Carlito 2005; 3. Don Carlos Belicoso, 4. CAO Brazilia Samba; 5. Montecristo Platinum Mini Belicoso (tubos).
The Don Carlos Belicoso is a well constructed cigar with some good cedar notes. I've never been disappointed with one of these, although they may be a little over-hyped. As I said, the La Gloria Cubana Torpedo was more appealing to my full flavor taste for less money, but this is still a great cigar.

Review Notes:
Fuente's are usually alot of sizzle and no steak to me but this belicoso was actually a treat. A plethora of interesting and deep flavors came forth and the construction was among the best. A tad bit pricey, but an overall very good experience.
