Arturo Fuente Spanish Lonsdale

Appearance: 1 Banded Cigar that says "Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva". This has a cameroon wrapper on it. It is a rough and ugly looking wrapper.

Taste of the cigar: I couldn't really pick up any flavors. It was pretty harsh.

Construction: Held an average ash. The draw was average. The cigar required no touchups. The wrapper cracked when I cut it with the Palio

Strength: This was a mild cigar.

Summary: This cigar was terrible. I would not buy these again.

This one just didn't do it for me. Maybe I didn't give it long enough to prove itself (i had to stop smoking it a quarter of way through...twice). It was just so harsh the whole time that i couldn't really taste much of anything. The construction and burn is alright but you don't smoke a cigar because of those factors.

This was a nice smoke,it was a nice looking stick but the wrapper was a little lose,started to unravell.Had a nice aroma,nice taste and the draw was pretty good it burned pretty even considering the wrap started to come off half way through.It had a nice mild spicy taste to it.I do have a couple more of these and I will revisit them in after some more time in the humi.(I smoked this particular one because the wrapper was starting to seperate,rather than let it sit and really fall apart)

While I usually like this size, this cigar didn't do a whole lot for me. It had the typical taste I expect from a natural Fuente (definitely on the mild side), but it burned a little hot and harsh.

This was not on par with A. Fuente's normal quality. Very disappointed.

Like grinch's, seemed to burn a little hot. Sharp burn though with adeqaute smoke, peppery flavors but still fairly mild. I'd rather spend an other buck and get a Hemingway Short Story quite frankly.

This cigar has to be seen in context. No, its not the ultra-premium cigar that an OpusX or a Hemingway is; Fuente makes some of the world's best premium cigars, and what this cigar represents is one of the world's best affordable cigars. Honestly, you'll be hard pressed to find a finer long filler smoke for the price. This cigar has excellent construction (would you expect less from Fuente?), fine apperance, and most of all it still retains the beautiful, flavorful depth of a Fuente. The shape/size is perfect for most occasions. Don't make the mistake of comparing this to an Opus, but rather appreciate it for the wonderful everyday smoke that it is. Its rare to find such a thing.

Have smoked these for many years. Seems as if the overall quality is in a downward spiral.

Overall it wasnt a bad smoke, it burned pretty nice, the draw was a little tight, the taste was good, woody id say, ending in a bit of a peppery taste. but it was to mild for me, and it left a green aftertaste in my mouth, like it needed aged a bit more.

This was an ok smoke. An everyday, rather than a special occasion smoke

A good smoke, but burned hot near the end. Could have had a little more complexity in the tastes, but enjoyed the aroma.

A good everyday cigar. The flavor is good but seems to become one dimensional past mid-point. Not bad, just not impressive. If you really hate short filler this is for you, otherwise I'd suggest Curley Head.

From a great Family line, this isn't the best it has to offer. I decent smoke, good appearance, fair draw, but flavor was average which fizzled at the halfway point.

Great burn, ash, and aroma. I like it.

An average smoke, nothing great.

great cigar

An hour well spent on a well-made cigar.
