They use predominantly Cameroon wrappers, but for their maduro blends they use the Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper. If you have never tasted the Arturo Fuente Maduro line you are definitely missing out! Each of the A. Fuente Maduro cigars are individually wrapped in the signature cedar sleeves and are distinguished with a bright green ribbon/band at the foot of each cigar. The Arturo Fuente Maduros start off with a looser draw but they do even out after a few minutes into it.

Pleasant in appearance with its rich, dark, slightly veiny wrapper, the A. Fuente Maduro is a medium-bodied stogie which aims to please. It produces a billowy, thick smoke and coats your palate with a rich chocolatey aftertaste. As you work your way through the second half of the Arturo Fuente Maduro blend you might run into a hint of spice and a slight tingle on the back of your tongue, a creamier and longer finish and more flavors coming forth such as walnuts, vanilla and a charred wood undertone, but always smooth and buttery.

The A. Fuente Maduro is pure elegance, equally in its aesthetics as well as in its construction and flavor. Don’t miss out, pick up a few sticks this weekend, kick back with a buddy and delve into a heavenly, rich-tasting, meaty and well-made maduro cigar.

Review of Cuesta-Rey Natural Wrapper Cigars

April 1, 2012 By Administrator Leave a Comment

Cuesta-Rey Centenario Tuscany Cigars at My Discount Cigars

In 1884 Angel La Madrid Cuesta, a young Spanish immigrant, opened a small cigar factory. He was soon accompanied by Peregrino Rey, and the Cuesta-Rey brand was born. Originally made in Cuba and the official cigar of Spain’s King Alfonso XIII, the Cuesta-Rey cigars are now being skillfully handmade by the famous Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic.

Offering 3 unique blends: the Cuesta-Rey Centenario, Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino and the Cuesta-Rey Cabinet Collection, each one uses only the finest aged Dominican long-fillers for the binders and fillers, and for the wrappers they use either a U.S. Connecticut shade natural wrapper, Connecticut Broadleaf for the maduro cigars, sun grown wrappers (for the Centro Fino), or Cameroon wrappers. We focus our attention to the U.S.A. Connecticut shade natural wrappers for this review. With a well-earned 90 rating from Cigar Aficionado for their Cuesta-Rey Centenario Pyramid #9 cigar, you can rest assured that with each Cuesta-Rey cigar you are smoking an exceptional quality cigar with flawless construction.

Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino Sungrown, the King’s Cigar

March 5, 2012 By Administrator Leave a Comment

At one time they were rolled in Cuba and now they are handmade in the Tabacalera A. Fuente factory in the Dominican Republic, the Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino Sungrown cigars deliver a flavor-filled, medium-bodied smoke and a solid burn as well as construction. It is the official cigar of Spain’s King Alfonso XIII and is world-renowned for their craftsmanship, taste and high quality. The rich Sumatra-seed Sungrown wrapper (which is grown on the Oliva family’s farm in the super fertile Quevedo region of Ecuador) is hand-picked and selected from the “Centro Fino” (which means “fine center”) region of the tobacco plant which is what makes this cigar sing!
