AF King B Review

[etenpenny]

Well heres my first review here,
I smoked my second tonight, first burned terribly unevenly so I cad to give them another shot.
anyway, This thing looks nice with the new king b cello, cedar wrapper and black band. The wrapper also looked great, a reddish brown "cloud grown" oliva rosado wrapper. The ring gauge is quite large on this one, When I lit this thing It tasted alot like the 858 sungrown, thats the best description I could give. It was a smooth creamy, even burn throughout. Quite medium body, I imagine these will age well. All in all another great AF cigar (and great AF marketing too)

I haven't seen these in the B&M's yet . I've liked every sun-grown Fuente that I've had so far . Still looking for them .

You should like them, I got them for 8 dollars a stick at the local store,
They have such a nice big ring gauge.

Thanks for the quick review. I am waiting on a few that someone is sending me. They should be here in a few days.

King B's never heard of them. Great, another Fuente hard to get cigar I need to try. I need that like a hole in the head.

Thanks for the review though.

I totally agree, and this time they had no hurricane excuse like back when the anejos came out. They are THE kings of cigar marketing.

Oh great another hard to find Fuente , Lately its been Anejos, Hemi Maddies , Opus and now the King B . Are they gonna torture us Fuente fans all year now ? Oh well , guess I'll have to find the new one -

the availability of the King B is "supposed" to be on par with the 858 sungrown, which isnt as readily available as the others in the 858 series, but we will see. I cant get them yet.

I just had a King B on my ride home from work. I stopped by the B&M and picked up 6. I thought it much better than most of the regular fuentes. The burn was much better too. I could taste a nice mellow sweetness that made it very enjoyable. I liked it much better than the SunGrown Cuban Belis.
Worth the 8.70 (in Taxachusetts) that I paid.

What is the msrp on the King B SGs?

[etenpenny]

I think its 6.50 but most people cant find them under 8 or so

My local B & M tells me the King Bs were pulled off the market due to Carlito not thinking this batch was up to snuff. I believe they told my local guy this story, but not sure if it is true, or an excuse for not sending him any to sell. Anybody else heard this?

Well, of the two boxes my shop got at Christmas, the two I smoked from the first box were excellent. The two I smoked from the second box were just terrible. Burned badly, had a horrible nicoteine taste, lots of goo crapping on my tongue.

The two King B's that I enjoyed were no better than Cuban Belicosos. So, I don't think this cigar is worth it. I'd rather have some CB's myself.
