Newbie Experience : Arturo Fuente

Ogre · 07-23-2010, 01:21 PM

I have had similar experience, not all sticks from a manufacturer are the same. It does vary from person to person, and how well the stick was taken care of. The biggest thing I noticed about the same stick tasting different is age, its like 2 totally different cigars. All I can suggest is keep trying new things and find what works for you.

Aaron, I cannot say enough good things about Fuente. Over the years they have really grown on me more than any other NC brand. I suggest you try something from the Don Carlos Line next, (assuming the ones you tried were the regular green and red band). The Don Carlos have the red and black band. They are much more rich and sweet than the regular line.

When you grab a new stick from a shop take a look at the box. Note the name of the cigar and any other details like maduro, oscuro, etc. The brand name is not so important as you have the label on the cigar. This will help you as you branch out and taste different cigars. If you are not sure you can always check the major retailers for more information on your cigar. In the beginning all cigars look very similar, but with time you will learn about different wrappers and how different manufacturers blend to a certain profile. The color of the wrapper has very little to do with strength. There are some cigars with lighter wrappers that are very strong(Litto Gomez) and others with dark that are quite light(Punch Rothschild Maduro Maduro.

Have fun and try as many different cigars as your budget allows.
