Each Saturday and Sunday we’ll post a Quick Smoke: not quite a full review, just our brief take on a single cigar.

This lighter-bodied Dominican has what I call the typical Fuente taste: woody with enough spice and vanilla to keep things interesting. Salt is also dominant, so be sure to have a trusty beverage handy for this six and ¾ inch by 50 ring gauge journey. You may have to touch up the burn every now and again, but construction is fairly solid.

Verdict = Buy.
