Arturo Fuente Cañones (Maduro)

I really didn't like this smoke, as it unraveled a bit and had a very sour taste.

I got this HUGE sick for under 4 bucks...how does that happen?! This is Arturo we are talking about here...not Perdomo..(no offence intended Nick). This this is a 2 hour knock-out smoke that changes subtly as you move to the end. The start is a heavy smoke with deep flavors...but as you go the cigar mellows and finishes as a clean woody smoke that will leave you satified. Just a great smoke for the 4-5 buck range.

This is a great stick and it's great to enjoy for 2+ hours. It's complex with a nice woodsy, coffee taste the entire smoke which get heavier once you get past halfway. It went from medium to full once you hit the band. It drew well and only needed 1-2 touch-ups and that's good for a stick this big. The price is right and if you need a stick to last entire movie, this is a "go to" smoke.

Almost a year ago I tried this monster. I enjoyed it very much, but this time the draw was so tight that I didn't get much of anything but tired jaws. Construction problems with AF smokes seem rare, so I guess this one was the exception. Because of the tight draw, the only flavor was cedar, an over whelming amount of cedar. Being one who does not particularly select sticks with heavy cedar taste, I did not enjoy this experience. About midway through this cigar I got a very brief taste of sweetness, other than that, just CEDAR. The finish was slightly peppery. In addition to the draw, the burn was off for about 80% of this smoke. Finally, the wrapper started to come apart and I decided to put this thing out. By far this was my most disappointing experience with any of the AF products.

This Beauty lasted 2 and 1/2 hours, the taste was great, the draw was good but the burn a bit uneven, i think do to the monsterous size of this cigar. the end was amazing, leaving a great taste left on my lips.

This is a big cigar! It has good flavor and a serious kick. After I finished this smoke, I had to sit down for a minute, as I had a "60's" kind of buzz. Excellent construction with an easy draw and a very even burn. I will be buying more of these sticks. They are perfect for sitting in the Keno lounge playing the "T" is for terrific games (20 to a 1000 for 10 cents each play). Very enjoyable experience for a low price per stick.

Man this is one hell of a big smoke so reserve the time to smoke it, like 2+ hrs. But it is well worth it. Classic Fuente construction with a near perfect draw for me and even burn and very nice ash. I found the flavors to be earthy, leathery and a touch of wood, just a wonderful flavor. The power is there to so if your new to cigars don't mess with this big guy it will kick your butt. Smooth full and big, hell what more do ya want, oh yea it's not to expensive either. Recommened!

This is one of the best cigars I've smoked. That pretty much sums up the rest of the review so you can stop now if you want. Its appearance is excellent, with a dark brown, almost black maduro wrapper that had a great oily sheen to it. I was somewhat concerned that it might be too strong, but I was wrong. The first few puffs as I lit it were fantastic. Rich, cocoa flavours, sugary-sweet, came forth easily. The aroma was excellent. The flavour changes through the cigar, getting stronger but still staying very smooth indeed. For the first half, this cigar burns slowly. It feels slow, too, almost like it isn't going to let you hurry it. The draw is perhaps a little tight, but not annoyingly so. My only gripe is about five / six inches into it, it went out quite quickly and needed relighting a few times. If only it hadn't done this I'd have nothing bad to say about it. Ordinarily, I might have smoked a couple more before reviewing, but to be honest, I don't care: the rest of the cigar was just too good. Given the price I paid for these (about $5 a piece), it's a great smoke, a well-spent two hours, and fantastic value. Buy them.

I cigar merchant in San Diego recommended this sucka...on a lark I bought two and watched a Lakers game. Man, this had so much flavor, it was strong too, and so inexpensive. Really a great cigar for the value

i dont know how A-Fuente did this...this is one of the biggest stogies out there, and it still has the classic Fuente draw. these boys never let me down, and the construction is some of the best out there. if you have three hours and 8 bucks, i highly recommend this smoke. the flavor is rich and wuite powerful...not for the novice. get one if you can find it!

This is a great cigar, with a very smooth, full flavor. If you have a couple of hours, you'll find this has a strong finish. Might want to try El Rey's Robusto Supremo for difference in price.

Only a few cigar makers can make a stick this big burn this well. AF QC is second to none. I rarely pull a turkey out of a box. The smoke was earthy, leathery, and some notes of cedar. Make sure you have lots of time. It would be a crime to have to put this one out.

this is in my opinion one of the best smokes around. all you have to do is find one.

The best Fuente you can buy for the price! A 2+ hour smoke, and make it MADURO! Very sweet and pleasing, the most mild Fuente. The best cigar I have ever had.

Maduro wrapper is silky smooth as is the smoke, I would rather have this cigar than any Cuban and where I live I can get Cubans anytime.
