To make it easy for every cigar lover, we are presenting below the whole spectrum of Fuente production line, divided according to the wrapper leaf of each sub-division. This way, you can appreciate the richness of the Fuente out-put, and how different is each front-mark, according to their ingredients, from other Fuente cigars. It is simply amazing!
CAMEROON
The Cameroon wrapper cigars are usually heavier bodied than their Connecticut counterparts. The line consists of Fuente old-time classics such as 8-5-8 and Churchill, with interesting variations into the more affordable, mixed and short fillers at the low end. All the cigars in this header are typical, no-nonsense Fuente strongholds and provide ultimate value.
CONNECTICUT
Unlike the famous African wrapper leaf, the Connecticut sub-species is a nicely mellow, easy going character. As it is grown mostly under the cheese cloth, it absorbs less sun rays and provides smooth, creamy flavors, preferred by younger aficionados as well as early morning smokers, together with their breakfast coffee. There are only three entries here but each one is a real “heavy weight” among cigar lovers.
MADURO
This category is actually a melange’ of all representatives from other Fuente lines, combined together, solely because they are coated with the mature, spicy-sweet and delicate skin, we call Maduro. You can find here cigar members from the Cameroon sub-division, together with some of their Conecticut brethren since they all share the same virtue of wearing the well-liked dark-chocolate coating.
CLARO
The antithesis of the Maduro, the green – claro cigars are remnants of the roaring thirties, when the Ameican consumer preferred the semi-ripened tobacco leaves for their cigar wrapper. Today, just a few manufacturers still roll claro cigars but the Fuente offshoot still commands a very strong following. In this line, you’ll find only four names, but it is by far the strongest and most complex in the Claro cosmos.
SUN GROWN
This “special line” is a result of a unique project out of Carlito Fuente “skunk works” laboratory, where, just like in the mythological Lockheed-Martin aviation Corp. , a number of industry legends, such as the opusx were born. The constant striving for perfection, together with the creative minds in the Fuente dynasty came through in the development of yet another milestone in their product line. Each time, when a new SUN GROWN shipment comes in, a cigar craze ensues and we end up working over-time until we run out. Good luck.
