I believe the wrapper is actually a Cameroon wrapper and not a connecticut. Anyway, they're nice sticks and I find them the best tasting Cameroon wrapped stick I've had.

i had one in vegas a few years ago (have a few stashed away as well) and enjoyed it - and reviewed it back at that other place - while playing some blackjack at ceasar's. definately not worth the price point, but when in rome, well, y'know. ;)

Smoking one right now that was gifted to me by a buddy from a recent trip. Its a Corona Gorda. Its good, but not great. The stangest thing about it is it has a pallet coating effect to me.

As for taste it honestly just reminds me of any other fuente outside the opusx which all taste similar. Not bad, steady and consistent. I just keep waiting for the shoe to drop and nearing the last 1/3 it appears this is all its going to do.
When I think of this stick at 15.00-25.00 I just start thinking of what the slope has to offer at that price point. I am thinking of some amazing sticks at under this price point. Hell for even less than this.

If you are a Fuente guy you will definetly like this stick though. OOO this definetly appears to be a cameroon. The wrapper is very inconsistent from one stick to the next. I have never seen a connecticut wrapper this dark before plus the vitolas site lists it as a cameroon, and other sites say its the opusx filler and binder. Isnt that like a sand shark?

Re: Casa Fuente
 

Thanks for the review im headed to vegas in a few weeks, looking forward to visiting there and enjoying one.

I bought a box of CG's back in '06. They're great cigars and you gotta love the Fuente construction! These are definitely not value smokes, but still good. I'd buy a lot more if the price point were cut in half. :2

:tpd:

I bought a few of these while in Vegas a few weeks ago for the ELVIS herf. I enjoyed one, sitting in the smoking area outside of the store and drinking a few cappacino's. Plus the Casa Fuente waitress, Vania, made everything taste better!

I realize it is an expensive stick, but this cigar is exclusive to the Casa Fuente store at Caeser's Palace in Vegas. I decided that it was worth it to try one while I was there... you only live once! :D

Re: Casa Fuente
 

I did not know it had a connecticut wrapper.
I've wanted to try these for a long time. Now, not so much.
If I ever go to Vegas, I will definately try one. :tu

Re: Casa Fuente
 

No argument there, Charlie. I like white! :D

I like these sticks, though I did not pick up any while we were out there. I got some Don Carlos lanceros instead.

Get the sampler, it's expensive, but hey, as a cigar smoker in Vegas you have to at least smoke a Casa Fuente. I smoked several when I was there and brought the sampler home for reviews.

Re: Casa Fuente
 

If your up at the tables, go treat yourself to one of their smokes...otherwise...a bit pricey. Good smokes though! And the bar area always staffed with eye candy. Did I mention it was across from the Playboy store?
