What's funny is that I no longer find the standard Fuente lines to be very great. Decent, but not great. Funny how your palate changes.

You smoked Grenadiers too, huh Mark? I did about 15 years of those rockets.

I think it was a Fuente that turned the tide to handmades for me too, and then a Bolivar Royal Corona showed me what the Island had to offer.
