| - Fuente is THE place in Vegas to get a fine cigar. When we last visited Sin City, a friend recommended that we stop in. I'm glad we did.
Let it be known that I am no cigar connoisseur by any stretch of the imagination. I only know what I like. Ring guages, maduros, virgin sun grown wraps, these things mean absolutely nothing to me. If it tastes good, then I like it. If it offends my palatte, I don't. For me, smoking a cigar is a great way to unwind and relax. Two things that are easy to accomplish at Casa Fuente.
We were greeted by the hostess who asked if we were looking at anything particular. I've already had the Opus X, God of Fire, etc, etc, so I was not sure what to get. She had suggested their special that day which was some sort of Fuente cigar (wish I could remember the name and info) and a mojito for $20. To me, a good stogie and a drink for that price in Vegas was a steal.
I was given a punch (my preferred method) and some matches to light my stick and the mojito was brought to the table promptly. I will mention that the servers in this establishment, well, aren't hard on the ol' eyes at all. And not all just looks either. Incredibly knowledgable about their inventory. I was with a friend who is very well versed in cigars (he worked for Holts) and she was able to keep up with him. Me? Half the stuff he was talking about was over my head, but not hers. But, I digress.
My cigar was great. The mojito that was brought along with the cigar was excellent and actually complimented the cigar. Can't beat that with a bat...
If you are looking for the perfect spot to people watch, relax ,and enjoy a fine cigar with a hearty drink, you shoud seriously consider stopping by.
