Few premium cigar companies have the respect and reputation that Arturo Fuente deservedly carries. From their earliest days they have followed the mantra of “Never Rush the Hands of Time.” Sounds nice, doesn’t it? But what does that have to do with premium cigars? Simply put, they will not make more cigars than they are capable of producing well. Production volume at the expense of quality does not exist in a Fuente factory. Since 1912, this reputation has allowed them to plot their own course and not bend to market pressure for more cigars. The Fuente portfolio is built of several core lines that include instantly recognizable names such as Gran Reserva, Hemingway, OpusX, Don Carlos, and in this case Chateau Fuente. Each line has a special meaning to the Fuente family, and each line is constructed with care.

Also known as Magnum R, this unique Fuente an exclusive Rosado Sungrown wrapper, culled from the lower primings of the tobacco plants. Making it even more exotic, this wrapper leaf is aged for about 8-10 years. While they could have blended the cigar to be another powerhouse, like their now infamous OpusX, they chose to make these cigars something anyone could enjoy. Magnum R is a medium strength cigar with balance and complexity. It was created to provide a creamier and smoother cigar experience without sacrificing flavor. Construction is excellent, and you’ll enjoy flavors of cedar, earth and cream complemented by hints of leather and cinnamon with a touch of sweetness on the finish. This cigar is destined to become another Fuente classic.
