My local smoke shop called to let me know that they had some hard to get and rare Fuentes. When I got there they had sold out of the "Anejo" so I picked up an "Untold Story" for $12. (thanks slimboli for the MSRP) Has anyone got any comments on the "Untold Story"? I've never smoked one. Barry

I paid $16 each for two that I purchased from someone at another site. He claimed that they ahd been aging for three years, so I didn't mind paying the extra $'s. I haven't tried one yet ... but I hear from those that have, they are extremely good.

Check out the prices on them at the Cool River Cafe in Austin, Texas ...

Kind of makes you wonder, dosen't it?

Oh, BTW ... the "Untold Story Maduro" is the rareset in the line, with less than 200 boxes produced annually they are claimed to be unquestionally the best Fuente MADURO ever!

I checked out the prices on "Coll River Cafe". Wow! Are they proud to have cigars or what! By thier standards my collection just increased in value by 1000%. If I'd known that the Untold Story was so rare I'd bought 2. Hind sight is great. Thanks, Barry

I was in Houston last weekend. Sorry, I did not have much time other than dragging Mini Mean (maggie), six months old around to relatives showing her off. Saw some guy on the beltway around sagemont in beamer smokin. Hope you had a good Christmas.

Well first of all, anyone that's gonna pay the prices for sticks at the "Coll River Cafe" is gotta be out there. I've had a variety of Fuentes, and I still have a hard time to justify to myself that any cigar is worth that much. Happy New Years to All

Cool River is an "upscale" type joint that has some nice clubs across the country; however, take your own cigars when you go there or you will feel like you are being robbed! Charlie

Who's promoting another cigar site at CB? I don't understand, Keith. CB/CI sells Fuente cigars, and Cool River Cafe is an eating establishment ...
