When Fuente puts out a special edition, they do it right. It’s rarely a marketing gimmick, it’s truly something specials. The God of Fire by Carlito 2005 may be one of the best editions put out by Fuente
not only this year, but the best since I’ve ever first lit a cigar.The God of Fire by Carlito was a limited release of 900 boxes with 10 cigars each, so finding one nowadays may be tough, but not impossible. And if you find one, it will be well worth any and all effort.The God of Fire is a Cigar Smokers cigar.
It is strong. Really strong. Extremely, sit the hell down, get a stiff drink, keep the wife away ’cause she’ll hate the smell strong. And it’s spicy. Really, really, really spicy. I can’t emphasis either of those two points strong enough. It’s important to note, because that is the basis for the rest of the joys this cigar has to offer.This stick has a perfect draw of some of the most gorgeous white smoke I’ve ever seen produced by a cigar. The tastes are bold and rich – a complex mixture of wheat, earthy aged tobacco, and peppers of all kind. The cigar held a tight ash through out the entire smoke.
The one and only thing I disliked about this cigar was the burn. It was uneven for most of the time, and caused the ash to split near the end. But other than that, I can’t say enough about how absolutely great this cigar is. Had the Gurkha Genghis Kahn not set such a high bar a couple of weeks ago, this would be hands down my favorite cigar of the year.
