Casa Fuente

[grapplefu]

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.

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.

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.
