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 Originally made in Cuba and the official cigar of Spain’s King Alfonso XIII, the Cuesta-Rey cigars are now being skillfully handmade by the famous Tabacalera A. Fuente in the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.

The Cuesta-Rey cigars hail from the Dominican Republic and incorporate a 5-year aged 100% Dominican longfiller and a U.S.A. Connecticut shade natural wrapper which rounds out these cigars and makes them an exquisite mild to medium and an always smooth smoke. Upon your first inhale expect to taste a slight toastiness, a creamy almond and woody core, with slight hints of coffee, marshmallows and spice tucked away in the background.

Each Cuesta-Rey cigar is packaged in a beautiful and aromatic cedar-lined cabinet. Every time you light up a Cuesta-Rey Centenario, a Cuesta-Rey Centro Fino or a Cuesta-Rey Cabinet you will always have a pleasant smoking experience with a solid core, a creamy base and one very elegant cigar.

Rich, Chewy, Toasty and Flavorful – Cigar Review of A. Fuente’s Sun Grown Blend

March 18, 2012 By Administrator 1 Comment

The next time you are in the market to restock your humidor, take note of the Arturo Fuente Sungrown blend. Each A. Fuente Sun Grown is blended with their exclusive Ecuadorian sun-grown wrappers (which are distinguished from the other blends by the black ribbon/band at the foot of each cigar as opposed to a green or red band like the other blends have). The Arturo Fuente Sun Growns are naturally sweeter (like most maduros) than other Fuente lines, yet their wrapper is lighter in shade. The Fuente family utilizes the A. Fuente Gran Reserva’s binder and filler tobaccos, with the exception of the dark, Ecuadorian sun-grown wrapper leaf, to assemble the tasty A. Fuente Sungrown blend.

Arturo Fuente Sungrown at My Discount Cigars

As you smoke your way through the Arturo Fuente Sun Grown cigar you will be pleasantly surprised by its natural sweetness which is imparted on your palate, complemented by a medium-bodied, balanced and smooth richness. The Fuentes treat all their cigar lines with the highest standards and care, including the Sun Grown line, utilizing the highest quality vintage tobaccos alongside impeccable hand workmanship guarantees a rich, flavorful smoking experience with tantalizing aromas each time you light up.

The A. Fuente Sun Grown is an oily, toothy and stout cigar exuding chewy leather, notes of earthiness and a touch of spice and pepper on its finish. If you pay close attention you might even pick up some cocoa, toastiness and vanilla. It will grow in strength as you smoke your way through it. They are each individually wrapped in cedar with a black band at the foot. All in all the A. Fuente Sungrown is not for the lighthearted as it is a fairly rich and fuller smoke, but there is no denying that they are VERY well crafted. Kudos to Arturo Fuente for bringing their A-game each and every time. Do yourself and your palate a favor and pick up an A. Fuente Sungrown today!

Fuente factory and utilize only the finest Brazilian, Dominican, Cameroon and Connecticut Broadleaf aged, long-filler tobaccos. Smokers spanning the entire globe recognize the Cuesta-Rey brand for its exceptional quality and construction. Cuesta-Rey does come in three various lines (Cabinet Selection which uses a smooth African Cameroon wrapper, Centro Fino with an Ecuadorian Centro Fino Sungrown wrapper, and the Centenario (featuring either a dark Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper or the light Connecticut-shade Natural wrapper) but we will focus our attention to the Cuban-seed, Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper.

The Cuesta-Rey Maduro blend features Dominican aged fillers and binders along with a Connecticut Broadleaf Cuban-seed maduro wrapper. Arturo Fuente ensures that each Cuesta-Rey Maduro stick adheres to the strictest standards, so you are ensured of a quality smoke each and every time.

The flavor profile you can expect when you light up the Cuesta-Rey Maduro cigar is a medium-bodied, naturally sweet tobacco, with leathery, coffee, woody and earthy undertones and a smooth nutty finish. Its appearance is somewhat rustic looking, dark, and a bit toothy with an excellent burn and a firmer draw. Hopefully after you have smoked one you will agree with us that the Cuesta-Rey Maduro blend is smooth and creamy and we hope it meets all your expectations from a premium cigar that comes from this part of the world. If you are searching for that aromatic, consistent, rich and flavorful everyday cigar which will never be overpowering, then the Cuesta-Rey Maduro is just the cigar for you.
