Arturo Fuente is arguably the most recoginized maker of cigars in the (non-Cuban) world. One of the biggest reasons for that is the quality of their products. Well, that and the fact that they make the Opus X. They typically only release cigars around fathers day and Christmas. Not that they are a limited production mind you, they just don’t rush things. They take their time and make a good product. Most casual cigar smokers will not have heard of the Queen B but they are probably familiar with the King B. I don’t know why but the Queen is my favorite of the Fuentes’.

Appearance: The cigar looks great in it’s cello sleeve with Queen B written in Gold. The cigar itself if wrapped in cedar and has the famous red and gold Fuente label on it. The wrapper is a dark chocolate color with several veins throughout. Very toothy. 10/10
Construction: Well made with a good eye for detail. None of the ones I have smoked have any flaws, blemishes or soft spots. 9/10
Burn: I like to smoke these a little drier at around 63% humidity and the reason is b/c it is so packed with tobacco, it is hard to have good combustion much higher. Flawless burn. 10/10
Aroma: Lots and lots of chocolate and nuts. Salt? 8/10
Draw: Perfect. 10/10
Flavor: More chocolate, more salty flavors. Kind of savory and I think this would be great with some seafood on a beach. 9/10
Availability: I don’t see these too much online but Alcorns usually has them in stock. Well, at least until I come in. 8/10
Personal Overall Experience: I love every second of these. I had my first one of these about 3 years ago as a Christmas present and I have been hot after them since. This is a top 3 cigar year in and year out for me. Very consistent and very affordable. 30/30
Total: 94/100
