Posted in Arturo Fuente, Cigar Reviews, tagged Arturo Fuente, Cuesta-Rey on September 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Size: 7” x 36 Vitola: Long Panetela Wrapper: Connecticut Shade Origin: Dominican Republic From the Vault: This cigar is super old. I’m guessing 8 years or more but I’m not sure. I believe the Centennial gave way to the Centennario, but don’t hold me to it. Tabacelera Fuente makes this for JC Newman, makers of Diamond Crown and Diamond [...]

Size: 6” x 50 Vitola: Toro Wrapper: Mexican Habano 2000 Origin: Mexico From the Vault: Ah, the Mexican cigar. Much maligned, but is the bad wrap it gets justified? As far as appearance is concerned, this looks like a nice enough cigar, the draw was very easy and it took alight well. But the flavor… it can only be [...]

Size: 6 1/2″ x 42 Vitola: Lonsdale Wrapper: Havana Origin: Cuba This is a size that I have been meaning to try for a while. I have already tried the Belicosos and the Coronas, but the Molinas is a new size for me. I like Sancho Panzas, I just don’t love them. This one for [...]
