I have several AF cigars that I recieved and I am not sure what they are, one is about 7 inches long with about a 50-52 ring gauge and is cedar wrapped with a black ribbon around the foot, I have another just like it only its about 4.5 inches long. They both have the black edge below the red lable on the band like the Hemis. I also have one that is about a 5x50 or 52 with the same band but no cedar or ribbon. I am just wondering what the are.

I think but I`m not sure....

The big one may be a Royal salute SG

The smaller ones I guessing chateau fuente

and the 5x50 maybe Don Carlos

Just my guess.

Someone posted a link once to a site that had all the different AF cigars with pictures and a paragraph about each one

but...I can't find it....search before....natta. Someone?

One graphical AF guide for your inspection.

Hog ... I don't know who you are referring to when you said 'they' ...

... but this is Andrew's site, and he is just an avid collector of rare Fuente cigars ...

Anyway, you won't find what Jdllizard spoke of on this site.

Just go to the Cigar Family site and go to "Our Cigars". Should answer all your questions.

Thanks,

I checked the rare cigar site out first (didn't think they were rare but who knows) with no luck, so I asked here.

. . . . so I check out the rare Fuente pics. . . . . and it is so cool. . . . . then, I go to Andrew's webpage from there. . . . . I check out the pics of the 18 incher. . . . . and I'll be damned - the pics were taken at my local shop, a mile from my house. . . . didn't know he was from Rochester. . . . now, I'll keep my eyes open for him, give him kudos on that collection. . . .

JD - Black ribbon around the foot means it's a sungrown.

Production release sungrowns are as follows :

Chateau Fuente 4.5 x 50

Double Chateau Fuente 6 3/4 x 50

Cuban Belicoso 5 3/4 x 52 (torp)

Royal Salute 7 5/8 x 54

Non-release SG includes the 858 which has that emblazened on the Cello, and the Hemi, which you don't have.

The short one with the black band is probably a Chateau Fuente. The big one must be the Royal Salute, although I don't have any to confirm they come with cedar.

The last one you mention, if it is a normal shape, is probably from the Don Carlos line.

Yes, the AF Royal Salute SG's do come in cedar. That's my every day smoke.

I just got a Royal Salute maduro from a trade. It's so fricking huge. No idea what to do with it. It's a rare case that I can even finish anything larger than a robusto, so knowing me I'd be "burnt out" on the thing long before I reached the halfway point!

Thanks for all your help,

I think mrtelcom nailed it, the sizes are right for what he said.
