I am so glad for this honesty I said to myself "If I click on this thread and there is anything other than saying this cigar is shit I will never read a review again"It was shit.
I think the candela wrapper is an acquired taste! But I'm in the same boat, trying to find one that taste good. I'll probably see if I can find that CroMagnon. The only other one that I've readily heard about is the Filthy Hooligan by Alec Bradley.I'm not sure if the main problem was that it was a candela or that it was a Curly Head. I'm vaguely interested in trying a candela with a good reputation, but have never heard of one!
The Exquisitos are horrible. Had two maduros a few months back, and couldn't finish either one. Got lots of tar oozing out of both. Love most Fuente smokes,just not thoseThanks, guys! I'm glad my suffering caused some enjoyment for others. Thanks for the contest heads up 3/5King - hadn't noticed it.

@Brimy623, I remember reading somewhere that it's the trimmings of regular Fuente lines but I'm guessing more like floor sweepings, bits that clogged in processing equipment, and parts of the tobacco plant they don't normally use in cigars - stems, buds whatever. If DE can make a good cigar out of trimmings (Papas Fritas) Fuente should be able to - maybe that's what the Exquisitos are?
