Chateau Fuente King B Review

I wish I had been reading something tonight to go along with this masterpiece of a cigar!

Sorry no pics tonight, I really haven't smoked one of these before so I was expecting a so so cigar.
I was so wrong!

Let's set the stage. A quiet evening, a man with his lawn chair, ice water, and his thoughts. Well and this magnificent cigar!

I unwrapped the cedar and black band from this wonder, it reminded me of the first time I undressed a lover. I smelled the stick and it had a nice, earthy odor.

After clipping the end the draw was a little tight but this is a big cigar. I toasted the foot and applied the flame.

Rich earthy tones with some spice burst forth! It very soon settled into a wonderful draw with some cream. This was an incredibly smooth cigar.

It burned very evenly and this continued for the hour and a half duration!!!! Not even my neighbor messing with his ill running lawn mower could break my serenity that this cigar provided!

A wonderful smoke and one of the best I've had thus far on my stroll down the slope!!!!

Re: Chateau Fuente King B

Something else to consider for a bit less, would be the regular Cuban belicoso - similar smoke in profile and very enjoyable. I agree, this is a nice smoke - was my 2nd AF I ever smoked - good memories with good friends.

Uh oh! He's lost it ;]
Sounds great, one of the few Fuentes I haven't tried. I need to find one!

Re: Chateau Fuente King B

I love all of the Fuente Sungrowns--and these are great when I have the time to enjoy them. I get a taste like orange-peel from them (which I don't get from any other smoke).

Wow, erm, these are good, but not *that* good

Next to the Short Story, these are my fav AF. Actually holding on to a few to see how they hold up over a couple years.

Re: Chateau Fuente King B

I'm smoking one right now. I can kind of pick up the orange peel taste that was mentioned above

Re: Chateau Fuente King B

I've loved the SG Cuban Bellicoso, looking forward to trying the King B. Thanks for the review.

Re: Chateau Fuente King B

Chateau series Fuentes are great cigars for the $. King B's are one of the better ones, love that wrapper. I'm waiting for the King T's to come out soon.

They're about the same price actually. If anything the King B is a bit less expensive.
