Casa Fuente-Worth the price?
I've heard a lot of hype about these cigars, I would like to try one. But are they worth the hefty , hefty price ? And if so, where can you get them besides going to Las Vegas or Cigar.com? Thanks for your input.

Re: Casa Fuente-Worth the price?
Definately worth a try.

My favorite is the Corona Gorda. Not an everyday smoke but a once and a while smoke they are great.

Re: Casa Fuente-Worth the price?
I think if you're going to smoke one, you should smoke one in Vegas and get the whole experience. Enjoying a fine cigar is 50% cigar and 50% surroundings.

Agreed. I love Fuentes, my favorite NCs, but the price of the Casas is probably not worth the difference...I prefer the Hemingways and Anejos...but when in Vegas.....

Re: Casa Fuente-Worth the price?
Not worth what they're charging at Cigar.com. You'd be better off saving for a trip to Vegas and buying one there. If you do get there, then they're worth it.

Re: Casa Fuente-Worth the price?
I just had a few in the last couple weeks. There very good, but nowhere near the price. If I hadn't been in Vegas with a drop dead gorgeous bartender begging to make me a Mojito, I would have had a problem buying them.

Under the described circumstances...I bought 4 of each shape.

Re: Casa Fuente-Worth the price?
I've had one corona gorda and have another resting. Like everyone else said, it was a great cigar, but not worth the price IMO.

Re: Casa Fuente-Worth the price?
I just came back from vegas and I must say while the Casa fuente is a good cigar, there are much better. There is something about buying a cigar from the only place that sells them and a waitress with a see thru dress on, asking you if you need a light.
