The Original Masterpiece
There’s a time and a place for risk taking....like Vegas, for example. And then there’s a time and place where you just want a guaranteed outcome, like after a long, hard day of bringing home the bacon. When it comes to consistency, Arturo Fuente is just like winning the lottery every single day – consistent quality, consistent flavor, consistent construction. It’s the cigar equivalent of how your spot on the couch somehow manages to feel exactly the same no matter how many times you sit on it. Quite simply the Arturo Fuente cigar reviews all read the same way, “This cigar is great, its my favorite cigar in the world, buy now.”
The Chateau Fuente Series cigars are made with Connecticut Shade or Ecuador Sungrown wrappers. They're masterfully blended from the Fuente's private reserve of aged tobaccos and the cigars themselves are all aged to perfection before being placed in their signature cedar sleeves. Well-made, mellow to medium in body, and beautifully constructed. Looks, personality, dependability - its all here.
