Fuente King B

[lenguamor]

Just smoked my last of these from a box purchased last year.

What a delightful cigar...the Rosado wrapper is yummy, the blend is just perfect - not strong nor overwhelming, and with just enough *pop* to make it interesting. Yet the blend still lets a lot of nuance and complexity through.

A lot of straightforward tobacco and leather, also undertones of pecans, cream and a pleasant sweetness are the predominant impressions. Toward the end, a melding of all that into a creamy, warm-spicy finish that went on long after the fun ended.

At about $5 a stick, one of the true solid values out there.

Thanks for the review. I have one of these resting in my humi, but really knew very little about it. Looking forward to trying it!

Good review and wise box purchase. With a year under their belt the Fuente Sungrowns are excellent smokes, and the King B is no exception.

I really do enjoy the King B, can't say the same for some of Fuente's other stuff. :tu

I have yet to smoke the King B. I have been on the verge of pulling the trigger a few times, I guess it is time to give in and grab some. Thanks for the review.

I'd love it if Fuente did the same with this as La Aurora did with their 1495's; make the same cigar, same blend with different wrappers.

I'd love to try it with a VSG wrapper; maybe even with añejo and Connecticut wrappers as well as the Ashton Aged Maduro wrapper.
