"Not Perfect But What Is?"
Great little smoke... A nice half hour of bliss as my wife actually likes the aroma. I enjoy the easy taste, draw, great ash and even burn. The appearance is striking enough that when you hand one to a buddy he thinks you are giving him much more than a stick you can buy for $3.50! Its my after dinner go to smoke and I will always have a box in the "every day" humi.

"A box for under $70.00...best deal on earth"
Everything about this cigar is awesome, but the fact that you are getting a box of these for under 70 bucks is the best thing about it.You usually pay double for a cigar like this....it's like stealing.

"Great short smoke"
Good taste as long as your not in a rush to smoke it or take too long of a drag. Good for your every weekend smoke. Good overall.

"Are they now rushing the hands of time?"
The Chateau Fuente, a "go to" smoke now for quite a while, seems to have suffered from a lack of quality lately. Some serious burn issues, splitting, and falling apart seems to be the rule for the past few months. I have stopped buying these due to the poor construction quality. Are the Fuentes sacrificing quality for quantity, in order to meet the demand for their product? I hope not ..... but fear that might be the case. No more Fuentes for the time being.

"This cigar is overrated!!"
Bought one at my local cigar store to try. The draw is poor. I had to relight it 3 times. The wrapper split open which did not help either. The taste was so-so. This cigar is way overrated!

"Huh????"
Just put one out with about 1/3 left. I found it had close to no taste at all. Could be because I have been smoking full bodied cigars lately... but I don't think I will be buying anymore of these for a while. It was like sucking hot air...

"Great smoke!!!!!"
What can you say?? Get 'em while you can. Great cigar, excellent price. In my opinion this is more of a medium bodied smoke. Great taste and aroma, consistent burn and draw, whats not to love?? Can't go wrong with these!!!!!

"Excellent all around"
Excellent flavor, excellent value. As with Fuente in general, you just can't go wrong with these!

"My first favorite"
I started smoking cigars at age 31 (one year ago), and this was my first favorite and continues to be one of my favorities (especially for the price). Always burns evenly, with a mild, smooth but flavorful cedar taste. The cigars are wonderfully preserved fresh from the factory inside the box which really impressed me. If you havent tried one, you must!

"Smooth, sweet"
Just had my first one of these little guys and was very pleased. A smooth, mild, but very tasty smoke. As with other Fuentes, a well balanced cigar with an easy draw, an even burn and beautifully wrapped. When I want a shorter smoke, this will be one that I go to.
