I seem to enjoy the Dominican tobacco characteristics more than other NC varieties, especially the OpusX Dominican puro.  

The Casa Fuente cigars pictured have a Cameroon wrapper and more of an OpusX filler profile to me, (although the blend is not entirely known) if you’ve had any Don Carlos it’s similar with a slightly fuller body.  I taste an earthy chocolate sweetness, leather and raisin notes with an incredible full aroma while smoking.  My review skills aren’t the best but I hope this helps you a little.

Very difficult cigar to acquire (only available at the Las Vegas store) until the recent limited release to a few other B&M Fuente accounts.  Don’t hesitate if you find any available.

I'm a huge fan of the OpusX blend - one of my favourites if not the favourite. I'm heading to Vegas (hopefully) next year with the girlfriend and Casa Fuente is on my hit list. It looks like a phenomenal place.

Small haul.

First time buying NCs in a long, long time so I went with some safe bets:

• Padrón 1964 Anniversary Exclusivos

• Tatuaje (Miami) Selección de Cazador Noellas

Padron was the easiest buy because I had smoked them before but I don't remember them having this much peppery bite or leather on the palate.  That's what smoking CCs exclusively for many years will do, I suppose!  These Patrons are still good nonetheless when that spicy flavor profile is desired.

The Tatuaje Miami Noellas on the other hand ... WOW!  These share more than a little of their flavor profile with some of the most popular CCs.  They may not have the "Cuban twang" but there is a familiar "tinge."  Extra credit goes to Tatuaje for even mimicking a SLB, complete with factory code and date.  Speaking of, there's only one factory these are made in so there's only one factory code: El Rey de los Habanos in Miami.  I've had the Regios and Especiales as well and they are both equally as excellent.

Posts like these makes me wonder if there are any retailers selling Tatuaje in Europe.


Edit: errr....I mean. I'm not talking about retailers or vendor.. Never mind! (forum rules) *lookaround*
Pity I haven't found them yet

Cyber Monday steals arrived! At 1/2 price, I'm quite happy with these purchases. 😁

Noellas with about 3 years on them are out of this world.

I had a Perdomo in a cigar lounge in upstate NY that was not bad.

Beyond that, it's Grand Cru No. 3 all the way.

Stopped by the legendary L.J. Peretti in Boston today (same location for 70 years) and picked up an Illusione Epernay La Vie. Really nice folks and an amazing old interior. They used to have 50 rollers upstairs, and still sell their own brand.

I bought my first Illusione Epernays on the advice of FOH regulars and smoked a La Vie this afternoon. Very nice, mild, creamy, progressing to notes of liquorice and peppermint over cocoa by the last third. I'm not used to smoking such large vitolas (double corona 6 3/4 / 56) and had to give up after nearly two hours, but it was very enjoyable with a Sierra Nevada pale ale.

Grabbed these Jamaican sticks. Believe the Santa Cruz is 100% while the other is Jamaican/DR/Mexican.

I got a couple at my local B&M. He has some good quality there but you'll pay for it.

Diamond Crown Robusto. My Father La Opulencia. And I scored on this Davidoff Churchill Late Hour. Sweet! I'll let them all rest a bit.

Nice purchases, I’ve had the Davidoff and really enjoyed it.

Novedosos impressed so bought more.

Nice. I thought those Novedosos were cuban tobacco?

[Edicion]

I have little-to-no experience with NCs but picked up some that I think are good to try. How did I do?

Just based on size, I will have the La Ley or the Macanudo in the morning with a coffee, the others afternoon/evening after a meal.

The Carrillo Prequel is such a good cigar and a favourite of mine. 👍🔥💜

The MF no. 4 lancero is quite nice. Have been considering buying a couple of them to have at hand. Haven't tried the others.

Grabbed this box half off at a local lounge. ADVentura Lanceros.
