Guys/Gals. I was gifted a couple of these by someone at work who knows I like cigars. I've never heard of or saw these before. So, I imagine they're not so hot. I don't want to seem ungratefull for someone thinking of me but, has anyone ever had one of these? If so, ????? Thanks.

    Its not a curly head. Looks (more) like a robusto (Approx 46 X 5.5).

    Never heard of these, and I'm a pretty big Fuente ***. Post pics please. If the band is red and gold, and says Arturo Fuente Special Selection, that's a Curly Head deluxe.

    Yeah. Somehow S.Lut is not kosher. But when it comes to Fuente, it is an appropriate adjective for me. Not even ashamed. I would sell crack on the street corner for Opus. I would probably do far... seedier things than that even.

    I love Fuente myself. I mentioned that to this person after I had my first Anejo (and fell in love). So, when they came in and said, "I have something for you". I was all giddy. Then he gave me these. It does have that Red & Gold band "Arturo Fuente Special Selection"

    Those are Fuente Curly Heads. Haven't had one of those in a while. A lot of people talk *** about them but I thought for the price they were pretty good but that was like 12 years ago and haven't had one since. I think they are machine made, but not positive. Also I believe they are a mixed filler cigar.

    Definitely the same label as the curley head deluxe, so I would imagine that if it doesn't have a "curly head" then its at least something similar. Which mean mixed filler. I agree though, that they aren't bad smokes, but its been a while for me as well since I finished my box, which was the first box I ever bought. The Curly head Deluxe Maduro. I enjoyed them as a newbie.

    Yep. That's a Curly Head Deluxe. Your estimated dimensions may be off though. Give them a measure...

    Curley heads are what got me started in cigars, always will have a soft spot for them. Nice stick for the price

    When I started smoking cigars they could be bought for .99 cents each. That was a great deal. I haven't had one in over fifteen years. I guess I outgrew them.
