Queen B: cheap or mismarked?
 
I just picked up a Queen B for $5.99 at my local place. Are they really just low priced Fuente's or should I go back and buy 5 more? I might have to smoke this one tonight and decide.

New size from Fuente. Queen B is a 5 1/2" x 51 with a Sungrown Rosado Wrapper. King B is a 6x55 belicoso, it come is the Sungrown Rosado wrapper as well, but I believe it also comes in several other wrappers.

Smoked on yesterday, thought it was good, clean and a bit heavier than the Cuban Belli. Still haven't made up my mind about them. For $6 grab more. One B&M had them for $10, another for $7.50.

yeah I just thought it was weird, considering this seems like a limited release and for all the fancy gold lettering and cedar sleeve, I would have expected to pay more. Hell, I also bought a regular Don Carlos that was half as small for $10. Even if I don't like it, I might buy the rest of the box just so I can trade up with the Fuente addicts.

$6 is cheap. Grab some more.

The AF Chateau Fuente SG Series is my favorite AF (not much of an AF fan otherwise). Love the rosado wrap. My local B&Ms haven't seen a King B in ages, doubt they will get the Queen B. Been smoking a lot of the AF CF robustos. Not a King B but still tasty. They match up with a bourbon quite nicely. Sounds like I neeed to hunt a fiver of the Queen B's down to try..... I love a mission :)
