Fuente Aged Selection: "Lost City" Release

[Kreth]

Sooo... is this guy the Scotty Cameron of the cigar industry?

yum!

I have a sort of, moral objection to paying for Opus Xs but I will admit that they are one of my favorite Dominican cigars. probably won't get to smoke one of these but I look forward to reading others reviews here.

That's an insult to the Fuentes, IMO.

They are essentially the first family of the cigar industry. They are true masters of marketing and special release cigars. However they have very high quality throughout all of their lines, whether it's the standard greenbands, all the way to the special release Opus. It just my opinion, but I've never had a bad Fuente made cigar.

As far as these special releases, I'm sure they are tasty (at least the ones I've had have been). There are so many of them that I'd love to try, but I don't have the liquidity to do so. Some day, I'll try all the ones I want, though.

That being said, I think it's a cool thing they did with these cigars, and I'd love to try one (of a specific size that will be released) some day.
I will say that I used to chase Opus a lot, but with the tax increases in cigars, and the availability of good cigars from other manufacturers (Illusione, Tatuaje, Oliva, etc.), I don't have a reason to any more. But if I find them at a good price, they're still hard to pass up.

That being said, it's a cool thing they did with these cigars, and I'd love to try one some day.

I'd have to agree that the Fuentes enjoy a primary position in the cigar world, I don't know that I would agree that the deserve it based on the products they put out. They make a lot of cigars I just don't seem to enjoy.
