Tonight's smoke - over 2 hours of bliss

Tonight I decided to break out a Fuente Gran Reserva that I had been saving. From the start it was just perfect. I got a nice clean v-cut and an even light. The flavor started out nice and smooth with a little pepper, very pleasant. About halfway through it went mild but the strength intensified. I could feel it in my head - a nice little buzz. Stayed consistent right down to the nub. I probably would have taken it further but it went out on it's own. A great even burn all the way through, never had to touch-up or relight. Overall, a very enjoyable smoke and a great way to wind down the evening. A good night's sleep is sure to follow. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Glad to hear it was BLISS! I have had better luck with the smaller ring guage Fuente's like the Privada #1. I am slowly making my way through the Fuente line trying to find my perfect Fuente - well, at least the one that I can afford to smoke regularly. I am smoking the Opus X tonight, but that is hardly a "daily" cigar for a poor working schmoe like me! Last night I had the Fuente Sungrown King B, and that was good, but seemed to want to burn a little hot...so I'll keep hunting. Keep us informed on what you find out.

Can anyone tell me which Fuente this was? It was about 7" x 50, wrapped in cedar and had a green band at the foot.
I've had it for well over a year and am not familiar with the many varieties.

Mike, sounds like a Fuente Seleccion d' Oro Churchill.

Looks like it was a great smoke. Which V cutter did you use?

C'mon Frank, which one do you think I used?
Had to be that beauty from my secret santa!
It's my favorite way to cut the smaller sticks (about 50 and under).

Sounds like the regular line in the Double Chateau. 6.75 x 50.
