Casa Fuente

[garublador]

Can't speak to Casa Fuente, but I can push out some recommendations for your Ashton VSG cigar. I would stay clear of stouts and porters, they will overwhelm the sungrown wrapper. Save those for your maduros.

I would go for a Double IPA like Green Flash, 2XIPA or 90 minute IPA. If you don't like IPAs, which I totally get, you should go for a Highland or Speyside Scotch. So your Balvenie 12 yr. or Glenfiddich 15 would work well.

Thanks for the advice! I'm not familiar with sun grown wrappers adn most of what I've had and really appreciated have been AJ Fernandez that seem to go well with porters, so I don't have much to go on in terms of personal experience.

I would stick with buying the Casa Fuente line since that is one of the only places you can get them. IMO, the Casa Fuente Lancero ($22) or the Don Carlos Lancero ($18) are the only ones worth paying the premium for. They usually only allow you to purchase 2 Casa lanceros per day, but I've been able to buy more before.

They have rare Forbidden Opus but expect to pay double msrp. BBMF ($125), Destino Al Siglo 13 ($120), Chili Pepper ($75), etc. I've been told they are the same blend as regular Opus just with different packaging.

The Casa Fuente's are what I was planning on getting, so that's nice to know. My guess is I'll pick something in a Churchill to smoke there and then grab 2-3 lanceros (I can come back the next day if needed) to take home.

Enjoy a Mojito, buy something to smoke while there and stick to Casa Fuentes if you want to take stuff home.

Their Mojitos are a must!!!

Was there last spring. Agree on buying the house brand.
They were out of the lanceros, but I was able to buy the last CF sampler they had in stock. This is a pretty good deal for Vegas. It cost me $150 for 7 cigars, and you get to try all the CFs except the lancero.

Phase 2 complete!

Casa Fuente was pretty much exactly as described. Great Mojitos and a nice, relaxed atmosphere. We went there on a Sunday afternoon so it wasn't too busy, but not dead, either. We all had the "orange band" house cigar and enjoyed it. They may have been a bit wet, but that's expected when you're trying to keep a humidor steady in a dry environment with lots of people walking in and out all day. The draw on mine was a bit tight and it burned a bit hot after about halfway though, but that didn't really take much away from the experience.

Thanks again for all of the help!

You can buy the house cigars and bring them home, right?
