Review Notes:Apprearance: Awful veins and bumpy with a folded wrapper over the foot. A dry, ugly cigar. Could mistake for a backwoods. 6/10
Construction: Lit up well and burned pleasantly. Good draw. Held a long ash. 9/10
Flavor: Rich brownie notes with hint of roasted cocoa bean through out. Loamy earth flavours in the middle. Very mild but lots of harsh tar at finish. 10/10
If you like mild strength and almost sweet taste this stick can’t be beat for the price. 9/10

Review Notes:A friend offered up one of these after purchasing a box. The wrapper was veiny and had a pronounced stem along one side. The color was good and the stick cut easily. A cool sweet taste was the first thing you notice after lighting up. Like breathing in after finishing a handful of peppermint lifesavers. The sweet taste went away after 2 inches were burned and you were left with very little flavor. For a short filler cigar, the ash didn't flake off too easily. The burn was even and never needed a touch-up. I never noticed before, I must chew the end of the cigar. The short filler left me with bits of tobacco in my mouth after each puff. The cheap price will entice you to purchase this stick based on the brand name. This is not the usual Fuente product most cigar enthusiasts are use to. You get what you pay for here, a cheap average smoke.

Review Notes:I have smoked both the standard Curly Head and the Deluxe. I don't see a distinction in the choices on this site. The last Deluxe I smoked was the real deal. Outstanding flavor-- really some of the best flavor in a cigar at any price--let alone $2.00. The drawback is the medium filler which leaves tobacco pieces in your mouth and the uneven drawn. For an everday smoke, it cannot be beat.
Review Notes:My first Fuente curly head. For $2.25/smoke, this is an awesome value. I'd go best cigar under $3 easy.
The cigar is not pretty, and the one I pulled had a couple of heavy veins in the wrapper. I didn't know if this would affect the burn, but it did not. Actually, other than the veins, the maduro wrap was a beautiful light chocolate with a slight sheen.
The curly head started to get wrinkled about 1/2 way through, but other than that, the cigar was firm, but not hard, and seemed to be built well. The draw was good. The cigar had a slight uneven burn up and down the whole stick. Light smoke volume.
I was wowed with the flavor of the cigar. Initially, the wrapper, being maduro, was a touch sweet. Not unpleasantly so, and I was very pleased by the taste. Upon lighting the cigar, I immediately got vanilla, caramel, and a light cafe au lait vibe. This is a mild to medium bodied cigar.
Certain spots, about 1/4 the way in, had a bit of pepper spice, which was welcome to break it up. About 1/4 from the end, the cigar got spicier, but never got hot. I would have smoked until I burned a finger, but I had some work to do, so I had to toss it out as the flavor was getting more diverse.
No downsides at all for this smoke- an everyday pleasurable smoke that goes on my short list for now. I'd like to get that smoke in a robusto, if it is available. With a bigger smoke, I would imagine the flavor would increase, as well as the smoke volume.
