Default Re: What cigar did you smoke today V?

That sounds like a Churchill. The green banded ones generally use the same blend, but are in different sizes. The ones with the black bands, like the Fuente Don Carlos and the Fuente Hemingway, are a different blend. Now here's where it gets complicated. You will find the ones with the black ribbon at the foot. Those are the sungrown wrapper, and are pretty spicy in flavor, but IMO very good. Red ribbon at the foot like the Fuente Fuente OpusX, and some rosado wrapper selections like the hard to find rosado 858 and rosado Hemingway, are top shelf cigars, but if you try an OpusX for the first time, make sure you eat a full meal before you smoke it, because those babies are full bodied and strong.

Fuente is one of my favorite non-Cuban brands, and they make a lot of cigars. Getting to know which one is which can be confusing!
