2009 FFOX BBMF Maduro Review

[LigaPrivadaFanboy]

I just wish I was in Vegas right now at Casa Fuente drinking their ridiculously awesome monitors and smoking the Casa Fuente.

Yes, their mojitos f'ing rule!

 

[LigaPrivadaFanboy]

white chocolate and catnip. seriously.

If I were in Vegas and needed to impress upon multiple prostitutes at once my urgent desire to burn money as quickly as possible, this is the cigar I would be smoking. But I would also be thinking "I wish I were smoking a better cigar!"

 

[LigaPrivadaFanboy]

To this cigar's credit it has not tarred up once, which is more than I can say for the vast majority of Fuentes. I'm going to have to take the band off soon and I'm happy to see oil cooking off the wrapper. Maybe the first half was just a perverted test by the Fuentes?

flavors shifting now as the strength picks up. floral notes are gone. More dark chocolate ice cream sammitch!

 

[LigaPrivadaFanboy]

Much stronger now through the sinuses. Almost gives a $4 MoW PA Maddy a run for the money.

 

[LigaPrivadaFanboy]

Approaching the final third, this cigar becomes fuller-bodied just without the strength. Mild-medium strength at best. Big/Bad/Motherfucker it is not. Just like I expected a white whale to be! The thrill of the hunt is always more exciting than the kill. But somehow I don't think a Tat Pork Tenderloin would be such a disappointment.

If you're on a business trip to China to show off a fat expense account and need to throw money around, I'd recommend this cigar paired with a bottle of Johnnie Walker Blue King George V. Both are letdowns, but at least you have a lot of $$$$ to write off on the expense report.

 

[LigaPrivadaFanboy]

I want to pitch this thing and go get something more exciting, but the last third I can't put down. EXACTLY the texture of an ice cream sandwich is coating my mouth, and it's awesome. Just not $160 awesome....or $12 awesome either.

Total smoking time: 2hrs 3min. If you want a HTF Fuente that actually delivers, I recommend the Forbidden X Tauros the Bull, not the BBMF Maddy. Glad I never fell for that CFCF bullshit.

Review notes and pix will be consolidated later. Thanks for sharing my boredom with me.

No, thanks for letting us share your experience.

My budget will more than likely never allow me to get any HTF smokes, but due to folks like you, I get to share in the experience.

Thanks again!!!

The BBMF Maduro is supposed to be the whitest of the white whales in that yearly offering. Cool if you just want to donate to a charity.

I'm also glad it's only 4:31 pm here because I just poured my 3rd 8oz glass of scotch and tomorrow is a 12mi mountainbike ride. Need time.

If it's worthwhile, then keep it up. This way, I get to live vicariously through you

BTW the Black Orchid ($60 at Casa Fuente) also sucks. At least I could expense that.
