Arturo Fuente.

First release was 2008 or 2009, I forget which exactly. The "King T" and "Queen B" were added to the line at the same time.

It's a nice cigar, it's what one comes to expect from Fuente. Not very dynamic, but complex and nice consistent, rock solid flavors.

To me, the "King" and "Queen" series from AF have been total snoozers. Exactly the type of cigars that give AF the rep of over-hyping their stuff, IMO. When this company does it right, it is a spectacular product, but when it misses the mark (which is fairly frequently, in all honesty) the results are disappointing.

But, what the hell - nobody's perfect.

Totally agree with hoyodude....had one I think leoscat sent me, burned great but really uneventful.

Received one from knckmdwn that I'm still looking forward to trying. Like most Fuentes but have not tried this vitola yet.

I've had a couple of the King and Queen and thought they were OK. Wouldn't buy a box but wouldn't turn one down to smoke.

didn't know there was a King T...but i have a handful of the Queen B OR..(they aged fairly well)..and they are good smokes...just not 8$ good. The Cuban Belicoso SG beats it for 4.50.

Bought a Queen B at the local for $5.60. I think they're worth that.

King B was introduced at the RTDA in '05. Released in '07. Then the Queen B(Still Chateau but smaller version of King 😎 released in '09 and then the King T(late '09). I love them all as most Fuentes I love. Very consistent cigars.

Get it right. I love Holiday Fuente's most.

Not my faV but I do like. so many good cigars I love. Use to love the COA's as I still love a few of them. Been a Tat HO lately. Love the spiciness Pete and DP do. Just so much so I enjoy them all.

AF, JC Newman and me.....

AF

Opus - Good, but not worth more than MSRP

Anejo - Superb

Hemingways - OK, but plenty I like better for the price

the rest.....meh....especially any AF w/green on band...I did give a self-proclaimed 'RP-guy' a Curly Head the other night and he loved it....however, come to think of it, he was half in the bag when we met up

Newman

DCM - Not bad, if a bit overpriced

DC, Unica, Cuesta Rey....Boring!

Baton and Brickhouse decent value

Anejos are a close second, but definitely second.
