• Brand: Arturo Fuente Chateau King B
• Length: 6 inches
• Ring Size: 55
• Score: 3/5

General Information

The Arturo Fuente Chateau King B is from the Dominican Republic, in Belicoso format. It's hand - made with an Ecuadorian Sun Grown Rosado wrapper, a Dominican Republic binder, and Dominican Republic filler. It comes in a box of 18, and each cigar costs around $7.

Appearance

It is presented with a cedar sleeve and ribboned foot. The pre - light smell is strong, and the wrapper is a medium brown color, smooth, defect - free, and not very oily. The cigar feels heavy.

Construction

The construction is mediocre. It has a stiff head and a tight draw, which is just loose enough to be smokeable. It doesn't produce much smoke until the last third and has an uneven burn throughout.

Flavor

• First half: It has an earthy/spicy flavor with a bit of bitterness, not harsh.
• Mid - section: A grassy taste develops, intensifying the bitterness.
• Last third: The bitterness and spiciness fade, leaving a strong earthy flavor.

Value

The price is reasonable at MSRP. However, some retailers inflate the price due to its relative scarcity. Considering its construction issues and inconsistent flavor, it's barely worth trying at MSRP.

Additional Information

It is not flavored. The hype around this cigar makes it difficult to find.
