They are Opus X binder and filler with a Cammie wrapper...the wrapper lightens and sweetens up the profile quite a bit (depending on vitola) and they are usually more creamy as well...

I prefer just about any CF to the same Opus X Vitola...

They're in my top 5

They are horrible cigars. I will give you 5 Macanudos for your 1 Casa Fuente, just to save you from smoking such a bad cigar.
Your Welcome

Funny thing is I was down there about a year and a half ago before I really got into cigars, was Ceasars and walked on by i'm sure

Zeuceone · 01-26-2012, 01:13 PM

Is this a serious question, too easy.....

maninblack · 01-26-2012, 01:29 PM

A friend of mine gifted me a Chili Pepper when we were down there a few years back. It was damn good. Bought a few more of the others to take home.

thechrisdotcom · 01-26-2012, 06:14 PM

Great cigar. Just spendy. But that's Vegas for ya. It's worth it though.

Going to Vegas in March and I'm gonna definitely buy 1 or 2.

I'm clearly in the minority here but when I was in Vegas last summer I tried my first Casa Fuente and was utterly disappointed. Even more so I was unimpressed with the upkeep of their walk in humidor. Lots and lots of cigars had minor damage to them and looked as tho they were thrown about in there. The selection was slim pickings too.

I did however very much enjoy the scenery, the mojitos and sangria's. The place was booming and made good convo with other BOTL's.

After reading all of these posts, I must have just gotten a dud cigar. When I make my annual trip there this summer I'll give Casa's another chance.

I honestly thought I was the only one who felt this way upon trying their blend where I had stopped half way. But I do agree that it's a beautiful lounge/bar...but since I had a yard stick, wasn't allowed to sit down to smoke there.

So my brother is heading out to Vegas in a few weeks and I asked him to pick me up some sticks from Casa Fuente. He doesn't know **** from granola when it comes to cigars, so explaining to him what I want has been rather difficult to say the least

Anyways, has anyone been there recently? Are the prices for CFs still in the $20-30 range? From what I understand the lancero is the best of the line but its rarely in stock. Also, I heard they always carry DC lanceros but you can only buy 2 at a time. My budget is $200 - what do you guys suggest I ask him to get me?

Yeah I've heard a lot of great things about them and I'm eager to get my hands on some. Hopefully they have a sampler with each vitola or something he can pick up. Otherwise I'm gonna have to tell him to surprise me...and probably end up with a bunch of cheap curlyheads

They do have a sampler (at least they used to) with 5 or 6 of the CF vitolas. That might be the easiest thing to tell him to look for. When I was there about a year ago, the guy running the humi was very helpful and friendly.
