King B?

[Here's Johnny]

I heard rumor that the line is being discontiued, anybody else heard of this?

I'm not a Fuente guy so it does not affect me in any way.

I believe it was just a release for December but they had some left over that were released.

If I am wrong on that I would not be suprised. Many people have had burn problems with them.

If so, I don't see anything about it on the Cigar Family site...

 

[Here's Johnny]

They were pulled off the shelf at a local here.

 

[jcgoldner]

I saw them for sale at Holts in Philly on Friday.

I've never smoked one, but Opus has bad burn problems too and those aren't getting yanked off the shelf :dunno:

Opus burn problems are generally for the freshly rolled cigars...they do have a tendency to go out.

Maybe they are getting yanked from the shelves.... by people buying them.

You can buy them on tampasweetheart.com but limit is 1 box. I was thinking of getting a box and stashing them.

By this, I mean that I have smoked young Opus with burn problems. But, I've never smoked a King B. Sounds like the King B needs to be put down for a couple years like Opus. Just a little comparison :thumbsup:

 

[caudio51]

The contention is that they need at least a year on them. The ones I have I have not touched.

3 years at least (IMO)

I still see them readily available. But, The few I have smoked has had very bad burn problems. Also due to the cedar I found some sap on the cigar that hindered the burn as well.

Had my first one this week and wasn't so much the burn but the first 1/2, 3/4 draw was poor. When it finally opened up I got the call to go pick her up.

NO! Worst cigar I've ever smoked from Fuente! Not even accounting for burn issues!

 

[williegstyles]

imo the cedar sap has alot to do with the burn issues. All this time I thought it was just my bad luck. The ones that I have had have a tendacy to want to canoe so I have to touch it up 1000 times....which doesn't make for a pleasant smoking experience.

Having to touch up a cigar a lot drives me nuts.:bigeyes:

Definitely, at least IMHO.
