This was my first Arturo Fuente cigar and I must say it was fantastic! The draw is a bit tight but nothing unexpected. The construction was solid and ash held for about an inch and a half. The burn was also consistent through about 2/3 of the cigar with a bit of relighting needed. The cigar lasted me about 1 hour and 20 minutes.
In terms of flavor I found the smoke very smooth and creamy with hints of chocolate, vanilla and of roasted Barley. Towards the last 1/3 the taste developed into something much more rich and deep. As a novice myself I was surprised by the overall strength but was not overwhelmed as it came gradually and consistently.
Would recommend to anyone looking to develop their palate.
5/5 Because I enjoyed the experience and quality.

Disappointed to say the least! It took so much nursing keep it burning evenly, I even cut it half to give it another chance but gave up and had a Regius instead! No spiciness for me just hints of frustration with a strong undertone of annoyance!

Really nice cigar. Smooth, with bitter chocolate notes and peppered coffee foam (ha, does that make any sense?!).
Got a bit harsh to the end so I had to slow down.
Burns well but had to re-light once. A slow burner for sure.
Definitely will buy again and am keen on trying the Churchill size.

I enjoyed this cigar recently at my sisters wedding following a recommendation from a twitter user. When you say smoke a cigar, your not kidding: it produced a lot of smoke and lasted quite a while (1. 5 hours and 3 drams of whisky). The cigar itself was creamy throughout and had hints of various spices to keep the interest. However, whilst I enjoyed it, I thought that the flavours in general were lacking. There were some pleasant tastes, however I would have liked them to be a bit more prevalent. Overall a nice smoke that falls short of the mark for my tastes. I would smoke one again if I was offered, but at the price I feel there are better cigars available.

I was very pleased when this arrived as it was my first humidor. It came very well packaged and was very easy to set up, would certainly recommend.

A lovely smoke it has to be said,this cigar looks and smells great before you even light it,the pre lit draw is woody with a slight bitterness and good mild tobacco flavours,upon first lighting the woody mild tobacco flavours are confirmed and also a slight black coffee flavour is present,it remains this way until about the half way point when the coffee disappears and a subtle peppery kick and a slight bitterness intermingle with the mild tobacco flavours,this increases in the last two inches and an earthy taste starts to overwhelm the other flavours. I disagree that this is a full bodied smoke mild/medium I'd say comparable to somewhere between a HdM and a romeo and I smoked it on an empty stomach with a cup of tea! But still very good
