Arturo Fuente Cigars & J.C. Newman Toast Across America

Fuente Fuente OpusX Toast Across America Figurado (2012)

Halfwheel · Dec 13, 2012

There is no doubt this release is still quite youngand there is little doubt in my mind that it will get at least somewhat better with some age on it. However, as of right now, it is just not a great cigar. The profile is strong, but not as strong as I expected for an Opus, and it is wildly unbalanced in the first two thirds, although it gets noticeably better during the final third. Having said that, both the burn and draw were very good for the entire smoke, smoke production was excellent and I have always loved the vitola. The money goes to a good cause and it is well worth buying one to put away for a few years and seeing how it does.
