So my wife went to Las Vegas last week for a business conference, and being a cigar enthusiast, I naturally asked her if she’d be so kind as to swing by the Casa Fuente store at the Forum Shops of Caesars Palace to pick up one of their the exclusive Casa Fuente cigars. At $18 to $28 per stick, they’re not exactly cheap, but since the Casa Fuente store is the only place you can buy them, you get a certain collectibility with the purchase — and if there is any cigar brand with an inherent collectivity value, it’s Arturo Fuente.

As it turned out, my wife did better than just pick up a single stick; she purchased a 7-cigar sampler box containing one of each Casa Fuente vitola! The sampler box costs $150, a $13 savings on the price of buying the sticks individually, which would normally run $163.

All 7 vitolas (L-R): Double Corona, Churchill, Torpedo, Double Robusto, Belicos Finos, Corona Gorda, Robusto.

I’m certainly looking forward to smoking these cigars, as I am a fan of both the Opus X (on which the Casa Fuente filler is based) and Cameroon wrappers. I plan on letting them rest for a month in my humidor before burning one, but when I do, I will be sure to post a review here on the BOTL Cigar Blog.

In the meantime, I’m going to be extra-nice to my wife for making such a wonderful purchase!
