For a loong time. I haven't smoked anything for about 6 months, and the cigar I chose to break the streak was a double chateau SG. It was pretty good but not as good as I remember them being. I dunno if it was all that time off or if it was the cigar but I didn't care for it much. It was very spicy but that was just about it. It started off pretty spicy and kind of mellowed out a bit as it went but it was very bland...I couldn't really notice any straight forward flavors besides a spicy peppery taste.

Anyway the construction was very good. It was in very good condition, it even had a little plume under the cedar wrapper.

All in all, it was a dissapointing smoke for 9 bucks (cheapest price I could find in a shop in this area)

I dont think I would invest in any of these again, but maybe I might try the maduro wrapper sometime.
 
Wow...9 bucks a peice! :0 That is pretty pricey...the BX on base sells them for 4 bucks and some change a peice. I personally like the regular length chateaus a little better. They have a little more taste to them IMO...either are a good smoke though...try the Maduro. They have more flavor than the SG's.

Ive had a few people who were more than generous to me with the short time ive been here...just passing it along! :D
 
great smoke with 6 months to a year on it. I do like chateau fuente also, in the sg or maduro.
 
If you haven't yet tried the Chateau SG You should definately put it on your to do list. Had a couple the other day at the local B&M (got ripped on them...) They are a great smoke not as good as the Cuban Beli that AF has but still enjoyable fresh or with a little age.

I'd agree with KB that they're a bit better with age. Darn good smoke. Suggested Retail is $4.70 a stick, and you should be able to find them for a bit less than that.
