Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente
Posted by E.Z. under Cigar Reviews (Photos)
Arturo Fuente cigars are not the best selling cigars in the US for no reason. All you have to do is pick one up and you can almost feel the dedication that has gone into the making of a great stick... and there's just something about lighting up a cigar that is as beautiful as it is tasty.
I picked up the Chateau Fuente and I don't have to tell you how eager I was to finally unrobe it. My previous experience with Fuente cigars told me to expect a beauty and it sure was. The cigar is truly flawless; a quality that I have long desired to see in my favorite cubans. A perfect cap, a solid fill and an immaculate wrapper grace this stick, all wrapped in its own cedar sleeve.
The prelight aromas are subtle and semi-sweet. Woody and buttery notes come to mind. The wrapper is equally tasty.
Lighting up will let off aromatic toasty notes. The first few puffs are creamy and thick. Nuts, cacao, and butter notes are present with a slight spicy undertone. The solid ash builds up evenly and the burn is regular. Parts of the wrapper that trail behind end up catching up nicely.
Past the half way mark the flavors intensify. A leather note comes to the fore at this point and becomes the dominant note till the end. Sweet spice is much more present now with the leather, as is some white pepper. A subtle woody finish carries over some of the spicy sweetness.
Overall, the Chateau Fuente is a lighter but yet satisfying smoke; both beauty and pleasure wrapped up into one.
