A. Fuente Rosado Gran Reserva


I have not smoked a Fuente in some time. Aside from the 858 Sungrown back in the day nothing from them really impressed me until this. An Equadoran Rosado wrapper with Dominican filler and binder.
At first light there are earthy and leathery notes. Half way through hints of pepper come through and finished with a coffee and caramel.
This cigar has avery good draw and the wrapper was oily and a little veiny.
The flavor of this cigar was excellent, providing natural sweetness to support the leather, caramel, and coffee notes that evolved throughout the smoke.
