Honestly, for the standard Fuente offerings, I still prefer their Cameroon wrappers over the Connecticut ones. Yes the connecticut is slightly milder, but not by much. Slightly smoother taste, but again, not by much. This isn’t a bad smoke by any means, in fact it is a quality dominican cigar, but it is not as perfect as the Cameroon wrapper counterparts. 3.5 stars I will give!

Love the natural. The double chateau gives you a nice long smoke. I get those cedar, nuttiness and bread flavors from this. I always pick up that classic Fuente flavor. This cigar smoked beautifully. Great smoke output and draw. I really love the classic look on these with them being wrapped in cedar with the foot band. A great value at the price point as well.
