Default Fuente Hard Core ****

Below is a pic of a certain aged Fuente gifted me this evening. The cigar on the right is a WOAM. Jury is out as to whether this is a Short Story Maduro or Short Story Rare Vintage.

Yup. That's where I got as much info as I have. With the history of both cigars and how it was given to me...it's most likely a Short Story Maduro.

I'm going with the best seller, the taper into the widest area is much more gradual in this cigar, looks to match your cigar better. I believe the best seller to be 46 while the maduro to be 49 as depicted in the taper. I could very easily be wrong, but with the limited info this is my educated guess

Confirmed Short Story Maduro. No chance in hell of it being fake.

Its not a fake, I am a witness it came from a reliable source. Acutally handed to the person by Fuente's son years ago.

You guys have got a long wait for this review. Many other sticks to burn before this one ever sees a flame. It's without a doubt the rarest cigar I have, and I don't expect to see one to top it anytime in my future...
If I die before smoking it...I'll expect Travis to smoke it on my grave.
