What is Your Opinion of Arturo Fuente Cigars

BlackDog · 08-10-2013, 09:50 AM

I'm curious as to what you all think of Arturo Fuente cigars. It seems few of us smoke them, aside perhaps from Anejo and Opus. Personally I love them, aside perhaps from the mildest of their line. If I could I'd smoke King B's and Hemingways all the time. Due to my budget, though, they are a special treat.

So what say you?
EDIT: I Must have messed up, there was supposed to be a poll too.

One of the most solid available. Pretty much everything they make is good. Never hand an AF that I did not like. Short Storys are one of my favorites.

One of my favorites but my stock has been depleted due to my assimilation into the dark side.

Just consistent sticks.

This. Especially the maduros, and the rare rosado sungrowns. But my favorite from their line is the 858 Maddie. Solid, consistent, pretty cheap.

I had one for the first time the other day. Going to have to pick up a couple more and possible a couple of the Maduro variety as well.

I don't reach for them regularly, but they're always a solid smoke, regardless of the line. Though if you count Ashton products in, since they're produced by the Fuentes, I reach for them a good bit.

Also Brickhouse, Cuesta Rey, Montesino, Bauza, probably a few others in partnership with JC Newman

My favorite Arturo Fuentes have been:

Anejo #55s
Work of Art Maduros
Cuban Corona Maduros

icehog3 · 08-10-2013, 10:39 AM

Almost always perfect construction, and some fine cigars, definitely one of the first NC makers I will look to when seeking a change of pace. Besides the Anejo, I'm a fan of the Hemingway line, the Don Carlos line, and have enjoyed many of the premiums I have smoked, like Opus, Casa Fuente, God of Fire and King Bs.

mahtofire14 · 08-10-2013, 10:54 AM

Used to love them when I first started because of the name. Still love a few of the lines, Chateau Fuente Maduros, Anejos, Opus, Hemmingway Maduros. As others have said, the construction is almost always perfect. Another one of those brands that have a gazillion lines and sometimes wish they'd stay with a few and perfect a few lines other than the top tier cigars they produce.

equetefue · 08-10-2013, 11:06 AM

Great and consistent cigars. Can't go wrong. Anejo being my favorite by far

ColdCuts · 08-10-2013, 11:09 AM

I am a fan of just about everything they do, especially the Hemingway line.

Blueface · 08-10-2013, 11:27 AM

Hemingways
Sharks (yummy)

sikk50 · 08-10-2013, 12:32 PM

I like most of them. Opus and Sharks are my favorite.

xerais · 08-10-2013, 07:36 PM

I really enjoy opus, anejo, and woams. I wish I had more and I'd happily smoke them regularly.

Subvet642 · 08-11-2013, 05:38 AM

I absolutely love their Exqusito Maduros.
