La Unica #500 Review

[Justso]

Once again, Fuente has pulled off the impossible. The La Unica line of Fuentes are just unreal for the money. It is one of the best bundled cigars I have ever had. I am not going to do a review step by step, but will say that the body of the smoke was mild from start to about 3/4 of the way down and then it got a little harsh, but you know, that doesn't bother me, not for an average of $2.80 a piece. The cigar burned so even from start to finish, the ash was a perfect tightness the entire way through.
For a 30 minute smoke, the #500 is just perfect.

I will also add this..I have noticed at my tobacconist that the Unicas are starting to be advertised and packaged much more elaborately then they used to be. They have now introduced (as the rest of the cigar world) the cameroon wrapper Unica, of which I have not tried and if anyone is intrested in a trade for one of those, let me know. I would like to try one. The band artwork on that is unbelievable and another one of Fuente's top projects it looks like. Only second to the Opus X Band.

Justso,

I haven't smoked the #500, but received a #400 maduro (robusto)at the Big Smoke. The #400 Mad was one of the best cigars I've smoked recently. I don't know if I was just lucky or what. LOL I'm going to try another and if the quality is the same, will buy a bundle.

I've had one of the Cameroon La Unicas and was underwhelmed for all the hype it has recieved. But maybe it needed some time in the humidor. I bought and smoked it at a cigar store last Sept. The Cameroons have a good pedigree though. I believe they are made at Fuente factory #4 under the watchful eye of Juan Sosa Sr. Sosa cigars are made at the same factory.
