Isaac Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 So I started off with a HUPC, but it was so plugged that I couldn't keep it lit. So I moved onto a Fuente. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHHmm depends , i'm just in the middle of doing a review now. I would say they're in the zone. At the 5 inch mark they still have oodles of power (body wise). But all the peaches & cream/macadamia, french white butter, was in the 1st 3 inches. It had me a bit confused as what to do. The first two I've had out the box were a bit one dimensional, with little of the hallmark flavours. I would say if you have a 50 count, tuck in, you cant loose. If you only have a few singles, and they are very well kept, I would say maybe 1 more year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your description of the one-dimensional first couple you had matches my experience with my '07s. They smell like the most heavenly, powerful honeysuckle thicket growing in a barnyard, so much that you anticipate the most flavorful cigar you've ever tasted. And then, when you actually do taste them... they're just closed down and unwilling to reveal themselves. I only have a handful of the '09s, so I think I'll take your advice and give them a little longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this one, thats just smoked well. The aromatic part of the blend was doing it's job, and the power part of the blend in the final 4 inches was at the right level. On that basis, I would say the 1st two were duders, For me the question is. The power may have another 8yrs,,, but does the aromatic tobacco? Im not a believer in all parts of the blend getting sweeter and more floral. To me, the 1st three inches couldn't get better. Thats the part of the cigar I wouldn't want to drop off 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeedubbya Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 First poor Winnie I've had. 2011..may be a potential storage problem. I knew this when I picked them up super cheap though. Possibly bad time in its development-fingers crossed. Very mild with an unpleasant bitterness. Burn was good though.
