The wrapper was the first wrapper leaf specifically grown on Dominican soil, and it was grown at Chateau Fuente. Before this, Dominican soil had never produced a viable wrapper leaf. So, comes the great Fuente experiment with this new wrapper leaf. They think it to be exquisite and come up with a whole line based on this specific wrapper leaf and all Dominican filler.
Of course, they market the living snot out of it.
Truth to be told, it is unique in very many ways.
That's the story.
As to the goodness and value of the cigar, you will get as many varied answers as there are members on this board.
Don't smoke it because of the hype, but try it because you want to try something unique. I've had some right off the truck, and some that were aged 3+ years. I even had some of the original release back in 1996.
I'll let you make your own judgement on whether you like it or not.
Peace of the Lord be with you.
