Smokes

I smoked an Arturo Fuente King B the other night. I only bought one, so this review is made after only smoking the single cigar. It had a very strong smell in the hand before lighting. the wrapper was oily and a dark red color. The taste was slightly spicy before lighting. Once lit, the cigar produced copious amounts of blue and grey smoke. It was a strong, stogey type of smell, with just a hint of sweetness. The tasted of strong tobacco, with a little spice at the back of the mouth. The burn wasn't too good, however. And it started to burn hot during the last third of the smoke. Some people might call it a "smelly" cigar, reminiscent of the air around a poker table in one's basement. My wife said I was smelly when I was finished with the cigar. (She is an occasional cigar smoker so I trust her sense of smell).

Overall it was a good, medium bodied cigar. It was a bit pricey, however. If Fuente could fix the burn problems it would be a good cigar to smoke outdoors after mowing the lawn. Or maybe light one up next Saturday at the local poker game!
