Arturo Fuente Cigars Magnum R (Rosado Sungrown)

Arturo Fuente Rosado Sungrown Magnum R Vitola “Forty-Four”

Cigar Aficionado · Jan 1, 2017

The name is certainly long, but it tells you almost everything you need to know about this Fuente cigar. Rosado Sungrown indicates the color and growing conditions of the wrapper leaf. And Magnum refers to the sizes of the cigars in the line. When the brand was first released, all the cigars were fairly thick. But more importantly, this cigar also ran contrary to the industry trend. At the time, many manufacturers in the premium sector were releasing strong, full-bodied cigars. Carlos "Carlito" Fuente Jr. decided to go in the opposite direction and made a cigar that was medium bodied in strength, but still registered as full-flavored on the palate—not an easy task.He accomplished this by creating a particular blend of Dominican tobaccos and pairing it with a wrapper leaf from Ecuador that, according to Fuente, has almost a decade of age. You might assume the cigar is called Vitola "Forty-Four" for its ring gauge, but the "Forty-Four" denotes the number of cigars packaged per box. This cigar is still fairly slim at 47 ring, but it's a great size, and each puff compels the next with unrelenting layers of spicy cinnamon, dried fruit, nuts and maple.

Tabacalera Fuente is no stranger to the Top 25; there isn’t a single year-end list that we’ve ever compiled that hasn’t included at least one Fuente. However, this is the first time that the Magnum R makes an appearance, and it is well deserved. In this Super 60 vitola the blend shines with tons of sweet cedar, cinnamon and cream over a smooth, subtle spice.

I’d love to see this in a couple more sizes to give some thoughts on whether I think the Magnum R blend is any better with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. Perhaps more importantly, I’d like to be able to smoke this cigar without the band removal completely destroying the final third. I feel pretty confident that the Arturo Fuente Oro Magnum R Super Sixty would score higher if it had been shipped without a band as the final third’s construction issues seem like they were directly related to the issues created by taking off the cigar’s band. I still think this is a good cigar and for $12, a small value given the large size but it’s very challenging to make any declarative statements about this particular blend given the three cigars I smoked.
