New releases part II

Hello cigar smokers,
In this post I'm detailing the second half of our new holiday items here at the shop. We have lots of rare Fuentes available, not just the Don Carlos Personal Reserve.
First we got 3 new facings of the Fuente Anejo, these cigars feature a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper with certain Opus X fillers finished in Cognac barrels. These cigars are very rich and give a faint barrel taste. These are much different than the American Bourbon barrels that Camacho uses for their American Barrel Aged line, I would describe it as a much more subtle barrel taste that only comes to the forefront on the finish.
Each of these vitolas offer a different experience and have their nuances. Each size is named after its ring gauge. First is the #46, this cigar is a corona size then the #48 is a Corona Gorda and finally is the #55 Torpedo. Each of these cigars come in boxes of 25 and feature lots of red on the box and finished with a red ribbon. All that red packages well as a Christmas present, it has an unmistakable look that hops out to all Fuente fans. In my experience this cigar is harder to get than the Opus X for much of the year, and if you ask me it is a better cigar.
Next we have the Fuente Best Seller in a Maduro wrapper. These cigars are a strange perfecto shape that is similar to the Fuente Short Story. These cigars rarely come with a Maduro wrapper and these are not going to last. These are rarely seen and a great take on the famous Fuente Hemingway line.

Here is a side by side comparison to show the difference in wrapper between the Maduro and classic Best Seller cigars.
Exciting times and even more exciting cigars! Please consider doing your holiday shopping for the cigar smokers in your life with us at Disocunt Cigarettes and Cigars, located at 801 Woodside Road Redwood City, CA. Happy holidays and happy smoking,
JT
