Arturo Fuente Reserva Don Carlos

Barnyard bling sums this cigar up nicely. Barnyard scents of hay, wood and earth are the first things you will notice (well, apart from the prestige regal band which is a nice touch). This cigar feels a little on the dry side; a little crackly once pressed, but the pack is consistent from cap to […]

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Best Seller 55 x 114

I’ve never had a cigar with a nipple foot, so yeah that’s new. I really love a regal band. You can assume quality by the cigars band, yes I said assume, but it’s still a favourite feature of mine. The cold draw has light resistance with slight hints of cocoa and hay. The nipple foot […]

Arturo Fuente 858 Anniversary 47 x 158

As I have mentioned many times before I really like a nice dark wrapper, the pack was even but there was a slight abrasive feel, like a mild sandpaper. The smell from Fresh is nutty and slightly of hay. Anything nutty is a plus! From the first few draws I knew this was something I […]

Arturo Fuente Curly Head Deluxe Maduro

The first few draws had such a great taste of cedar, medium flavour for the first third with a nice draw. I was a little concerned using the punch for a cigar of this ring gauge but it worked perfectly. I am a big fan of the maduro wrapper, this wrapper is probably the […]
