Review Notes:
I just ordered my second box of these and think they're the best under $5 dollar cigar out there. You can find them online for under US $100 per box of 25 (including shipping)...but you have to grab them fast because they tend to sell out quickly. Seems that Fuente doesn't ship these cigars on a regular basis...they make them when they make them. These are pretty much becoming my everyday smoke at this point, as long as I have them on hand. They start out a little on the mild side but by the time you're on the second third the sweet earthy tones start kicking in with a little bit of pepper. This is not a cigar for those that want a full flavored stick. The body starts out mild and finishes out, at the most, medium.

Review Notes:
This really is a fine cigar. Props for the rolling consistency on these. Burns straight and true with no baby-sitting. Lots of smoke, good interesting flavor, sweet flavor on the tongue and lips, long ash, fragrant smoke scent. I could go on and on.

Review Notes:
I have to be fair and eat a little crow on this one. My initial review on this cigar, back in May of this year, wasn’t that great. Since then, I have had a few more of these, and I have to admit that I quite enjoyed them. Perhaps my first experience was with a badly kept cigar, (the wrapper kept unraveling), and that swayed me towards the critical review. The latest ones I have smoked were from a different retailer, and they have all been great. The construction was right on, no unraveling on any of them. The cigars flavor was very good, again not same as my first experience. The fact that I have a few Cubans in my humidor, and tend to keep the RH at 65%, may have had something to do with the more enjoyable experience I had with these latest cigars. For the price, vitola, and quality, I think this is a very good deal, and for the next review I submit, I will try to remember not to base it on a single experience.

Review Notes:
Very nice presentation on this classic-looking cigar with a medium brown wrapper. I really like the flavor - slightly spicy, slightly sweet smoke from the start. One of the best non-Cuban. Even burn and long ash. Draw was tight though, and I am hoping humi time helps. Would not pay retail for these, but got this box free from a salesman. Costs $6 retail, I'll estimate $4.00 for online.

Review Notes:
2 weeks in the huidor did wonders for this cigar. maybe I just got a bad one the first time. I agree tha this is the best 4.00 cigar to be had. sweet to the lips. burn is fabulous. coffee , nuts and the floral fruity taste that most Fuente gars have. Get them when they are available.
