Arturo Fuente Double Chateau Fuente

People can knock A. Fuente as much as they like...but for the price, in my opinion, they are excellent cigars. At first I got hooked on the Hemingways but now I realize they sell a quality product no matter what line you buy. I would recommend any of their cigars to beginners or experienced smokers. ENJOY

This is the first AF to let me down. And it was all about the burn. Horrible. Tunneling like a mad gopher in the hills. Started off very peppery, but settled down into a smooth even creamy cedar after about an inch. My buddy got tired of watching me torch the thing to bring the burn around, so he stubbed it out in the tray and brought me out an AVO. Bless his generous heart.

This was a boring smoke. I smoked about 2 inches of it and I couldn't bear to get to the middle where I may have found an improvement. I purchased a whole box of these for who knows what reason...just because. I don't know what to do with the rest.

If you like the Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente then you will like this cigar also. It's basically the same cigar only longer. It comes individually wrapped in cedar. The burn is even and the draw is good. Flavors of cedar and sweet spice is what I tasted. I have 5 of these aging in one of my humidors. I can't wait to try the sun grown version!

This is one top notch, full bodied smoke. Great construction, draw was smooth, flavors were spicy and sweet. I can't believe they're only $4. My one mistake was not having dinner first. It made me feel dizzy to the point where I needed to sit down to finish it. I'll know for next time.

Burn was great, appearance was good, and draw was great. The flavor was just...meh. It had an odd tobacco/leather and some funky other flavor that I just could not put my finger on. I just could not dig the taste on this cigar, and being a fan of AF, I was let down. Cigar was packed a little too loose, causing it to heat up quick, so I have to ding it a little on construction.

I agree with the previous comments. This is a great long-smoking cigar. Typical cocoa/coffee, but this had a slight hint of sweet mint--very complementary. I plan to purchase more of these cigars.

I have smoked hundreds of the nat and mad AF Chateau Fuentes. The construction is flawless; lots of smoke; creamy; nutty and a little sweet.

Great construction. Very mild. Just an ordinary cigar for the first inch or so. Quickly develops into a cigar worth smoking. Flavors not complex, but very enjoyable. Gathers spice and woody character, building to a good finish. With about 2 inches left, it get stronger, but no less pleasurable. Will smoke hot, so draw gently. A good 90 minute cigar.

Nicely made cigar. Not much unlit aroma. Initial draw a mild flavor, not very distinctive. After a few minutes, it seemed to be a cheap tasting cigar. After about 1/4, it started to develop into an outstanding smoke. Gathered momentum of vanilla and cocoa; and became very pleasurable and flavorful. Slightly uneven burn. It is certainly worth the $4 paid. A GREAT everyday smoke, well worth the price for a large humidor.

I like the sungrowns and maduros better in this size but this one is also a well made cigar with excellent construction typical of most Fuentes and nice taste.

Construction was typical Fuente...very neat and clean wrapper with a carefully applied cap. A couple of heavier veins, but didnt affect overall quality. Lit easily and had a fantastic draw....perhaps ever so slightly heavy. I ususally dont like natural wrappers as ive never found them to offer any special flavors but this one was an exception. Burn was razor sharp all the way to the last inch that i smoked. Nice cool, creamy smoke that was slightly sweet, a little nutty and had a good, medium bodied tobacco taste.

Fuente hs always been and always be the yard stick that I as well as almost every body uses.always top tier smokes, quality,consistency, just plain damn good

This is one of my first smokes and still remains one of my favorites today. Nice draw with plenty of smoke. Woody flavors with hints of spice, cedar, and a bit of a grassy flavor every here and there, but wasn't bad.

Not bad for a mild cigar, had more flavor than i expected. I am a big fuente fan and this one was another good one. Burned great with a nice ash.

I purchased this cigar from the Camp Red Cloud PX IN Korea. I was not expecting much since the humidor's hydrometer was off and the original sticker saying 70/70 was over the LCD display. I unwrapped the cedar and saw a cedar resin on the wrapper. The flavor was wonderful. I went back and bought them out. Now I have three sitting in my humidor. They should even be better in a few months.

This cigar had everything working, great looks, cool and even burn, light ash and mellow aroma and flavor. Not going to overwhelm you with taste but the Fuente tradition is carried on in this one.

I had one of these a while back with a friend. The construction quality was very good and it had a nice even burn. Excellent woody/spice flavor. I would definately buy again.

Normally I donot like mild cigars but this is an exception. Creamy, spicey with cedar notes this is a more robust smoke than most Fuentes, and is a fitting smoke from am to pm.

An excellent smoke, from start to finish. Medium-bodied, cedary smoke, with a little spice to it. Smoked cool and even. Thoroughly enjoyed the cigar.

A smooth mild smoke from AF. For the price, and from a Primo name in the business, one of the better bargain priced good mild/medium bodied smokes out there. Enjoyable for the novice and for the experienced smokers.

This was the first quality cigar I ever smoked. The mildness and excellent taste were integral in my becoming a cigar enthusiast. They have a light nutty flavor with just a hint of spice. I will always have a place in my humidor for these.

A friend gave one of these to me as a gift. The first thing that I noticed was the excellent construction and sheen of the wrapper. The flavors were very nice with hints of cream and woody notes. A wonderful finish, with no plugging, good draw.

Maybe I got a bad one, but the construction was so bad that after the first half it burned over an inch down one side and I couldn't get the other side lit. Finally put it out. Taste was good though, mild with strong cedar, and lots of smoke. Maybe I'll try another one, or the M variety.

nice smoke, cedar wrapping added to aroma

This beauty was wonderfully built. Nice tight construction without any wrapper flaws. Burned very evenly. Smoke was cool and smooth until the last 2 inches. Draw was a little tight. Fuentes have been taking a lot of heat for being overrated, but this ba

This is my favorite cigar. I especially like them in maduro.

a nice..

The best non-Cuban I have ever smoked. For the price, they are the perfect cigar to stock in your humidor. Just bought two more boxes.- 10/1/97

A very pleasant smoke with excellent aroma and taste! A Perfect 10 !!!

I find the Double Chateu to draw exceptional and the construction very well made. For a reasonably priced cigar with a rich smoke try the Double Chateau

Got the cigar in memphis. the basis for the high rating was the relativly low cost for such a great smoke. not an Opus X, but for $4, it was awesome.
