Arturo Fuente Corona Imperial

As a newbie I knew nothing of these cigars but it was not bad. Middle of the pack for what I have smoked. First 1/4 was great..then got stronger more peeper maybe..Not able to distinguish taste yet, but getting there. Glad I tired it and would smoke again but have found others I like more for the same amount.

Maybe this cigar had good flavor, but... Rolled WAY TO TIGHT!!! Sucked the back of my head into my mouth trying to smoke this thing... Not the first time that I have had this experience with Fuente though... too bad people seem to like them. Did have nice appearance and flavor though

Typical of a Fuente, the construction is good and consistent. Medium flavor with spice and a little something else I can't put my finger on. !st one smoke to the band and was fully content all the way. Today, it was mow the yard and this was a great cigar for that activity.

I bought this stick from Serious Cigar just to try another AF. Unlike most of the sticks I smoke, this one was a little slim. The construction was typical AF with an excellent draw and a good burn. The taste started out with a noticeable cedar flavor, but then went to a pepper taste. The finish is pure pepper, but not enough to stop one from smoking this stick. I smoked this one down to the band, but I must say that it is not one of my favorite AF smokes. It seems that to a point, the AF cigars with larger ring sizes, have more flavor than their slimmer cousins.

Sure, it's a Fuente, just not one of their best efforts. As always, construction is top notch. It is a bit lacking in flavour, and has a harshness that is a sign of it's youth. I would not hesitate to hand one out to a beginner. The fine construction and draw and mild flavour is sure to be enjoyed by many smokers. The Fuente name demands a high value for their cigars. It is not always well deserved. The green bands do include some good cigars, try the 858 instead.

I may be a relative newbie as far as cigars go, but this cigar was a bit of a letdown, just based on the few I've had until now. While the flavor was good, at first the draw was a bit slow. As the wrapper began FALLING APART halfway through the cigar, the draw obviously increased ten-fold. I didn't buy this cigar from the classiest place, and I only left it in my humidor for two days, but regardless, I had to put it out halfway through as the draw became scorchingly hot and the wrapper disintegrated. Up until the halfway point though, this was indeed a pretty good cigar. Certainly not worth the $5 I paid, all things considered...

This is a very nice smoke nothing exceptional and nothing bad, just decent. The usual Fuente excellent construction and burn. Good flavor lots of smoke, A little pricy though.

The little cigar shop down from my office recommended this cigar to me and I was impressed. Great draw and smooth flavor throughout the smoke. The burn was a bit off, but it never caused me any great problem. Considering I only paid $2 for it, I thought this cigar was not only a fine smoke, but a great deal.

Very nice cigar, I really like this wrapper. Very good burn with great construction. Nice taste, and billows of smoke

Finally got to try a Fuente, and it was well worth the wait. It had a very woody taste to it, and burn evenly all the way to the end. For the price...well, not sure I would want to spend $5 for it.. 🙂

Just had another one, light wrapper this time, with same result....a little slow on the draw for my taste. Otherwise, a pretty good cigar.

This is about the dark wrapper. Built well, smoked well, with somewhat sweet taste and aroma. Medium, fairly mild flavor. Only complaint is the draw is a little slow, but overall a very good cigar.

The Fuentes have declined in flavor over the last 3 years.
This one is still good with an excellent draw

Very hard to get and selling
for over $6 in some
spots
