Posted in Arturo Fuente, Cigar Reviews, tagged , , on September 21, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Size:  6″ x 47
Vitola:  Grand Corona
Wrapper:  Candela
Origin: Dominican Republic

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 Crown Maximus.

Vitola: Torpedo

Normally I bash these, but this one has been sitting around for a while, and it did impress me.
This cigar is very popular.  The folks at Fuente did a good job making the Opus X and an even better job marketing it.  By limiting the [...]

Ah, the Anejo.  Long sought after for it’s… long sought after-ness.  The Arturo Fuente Anejos are limited releases, usually made available around Father’s Day and Christmas and are always a tough thing to find. The Fuente Whores love them.  I had a pretty large [...]
