General Information

The Arturo Fuente Rosado Gran Reserva is a limited - release cigar, available only to special Fuente accounts. It's hand - made, with wrapper, binder, and filler from the Dominican Republic. The median price is around $6.75 each.

Appearance

The Gran Reserva comes in three sizes. The wrapper is oily, nicely speckled, with a reddish tint and prominent veins. A carefully crafted band is near the top of the cigar.

Construction

The pre - light draw was good for a firm stick. After lighting, the draw was flawless and the burn was sharp, leaving two inches of solid white ash.

Flavor

  • Pre - light: Earth, leather, and delicate sweetness.
  • First third: Leather and black pepper as main flavors, followed by caramel sweetness.
  • Second third: Vanilla touch and subtle coffee notes.
  • Final third: Discrete sugary flavor accompanies the primary aroma.

Value

With a median price of $6.75, it's an affordable choice for Fuente quality.
