General Information
The Arturo Fuente Forbidden LBMF is a figurado cigar with a length of 4 inches and a ring gauge of 48. It has a wrapper, binder, and filler all from the Dominican Republic. It's hand - made and costs around $80 each. It can only be purchased at Casa Fuente in Vegas and has the same blend as the regular Opus X banded LBMF.
Appearance
The cigar has a dark, brown wrapper with an almost buffed, leather look. It's slightly oily, and each end is capped with bits of maduro, with the Cuban tickler head nicely offset.
Construction
The construction is impeccable. The cut, draw, and burn are all perfect.
Flavor
- One third: The initial flavor is a sweetened spice, almost like peppercorn, which quickly turns to a smooth cedar and leathery smoke with undertones of cocoa.
- Two thirds: About half - way through, the spices reappear.
- Three thirds: The last third has a deep earthy tone with a cinnamon backdrop, and it has a bluish - white smoke aroma.
Value
The price of $80 per cigar is high, and no value rating was assigned as it's considered over - priced. It's priced like other Vegas items.
The overall experience of smoking this cigar is refined, with a "smoothy sweetness". It's a meticulously blended, constructed, and aged cigar that doesn't disappoint.
