This Arturo Fuente is fantastic! Exactly what you expect from the Fuente family -- after all, they are highly respected in the cigar business for a reason.
It starts off with the sweet taste of cedar which turns into a delicious leather-earthy flavor with a little bit of that great A. Fuente spice. You can pick up hints of coffee and vanilla as it gradually gets peppery, which is quite enjoyable.
The effortless draw makes it easy to smoke from beginning to end. It also comes in a cedar sleeve that is great for aging and lighting (tastes better than a match). We even found this limited cigar to be more enjoyable than the higher priced A. Feunte’s.

This is an excellent smoke. The Cohiba Dominican burns great and tastes delicious. In fact, you get a good burn all the way down to the nub without any nasty flavors.
For the most part, it has a sweet cedarish tobacco flavor that leaves a decent after taste with subtle notes of coffee and a light earthy flavor.
Let these rest in the humidor for a while and you’ll be surprised at how good they can get.

This cigar is a great daily smoke. I always keep a box aging on the bottom shelf of my humidor because I love to share these when folks come over to hang out. I’m not one for a-buck-a-stick smokes because I found that $2 cigars have so much more value to them.
The Helix Maduros taste great, these cigars have an excellent draw, and lots of white smoke comes out full of maduro flavor. These are on the light side of the spectrum for a maduro… which makes it great for an anytime smoke without tiring you out.
It has a very good construction with an oily wrapper that burns evenly with a white ash. Its got hints of chocolate, nuts, wood, and spice with a nice aroma that you can be proud of from a two-dollar stogie.

CPH Staff Comments: Very good cigar, multi-toned with a great draw. This is a good maduro that pairs with a glass of port really well. I like to dip the tip in the glass between puffs for more complex flavors.
