The Chateau Fuente King B

Cigar name: King B
Vitola: 6" x 55
Wrapper: Ecuadorian "cloud-grown" Rosado
Filler: Chateau Fuente blend
Released: late 2005
Quantity: limited
MSRP: $6.50 per cigar

Notes: Announced at RTDA 2005, the Fuente "King B" comes in boxes of 18, and similar in size to the Fuente Sun Grown Cuban Belicoso, but a bit longer and fatter.

Despite sporting a black ribbon on the foot that usually indicates a sun grown wrapper, the King B sports an Ecuadorian sun grown Rosado wrapper from the Oliva family (jokingly referred to as "cloud grown" because of the altitude they are grown at).

This cigar was first released in late 2005, and will be a regular release cigar, with availability on par with the Flor Fina 858 Sun Growns. The filler is believed to be the same blend as the Chateau Fuente line of cigars.

Smoked one of these that was a gift from one of the great BOTL's at StogieChat.com last night. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. A Fascinating melding of fuente stogies, mixing the great construction and draw one would expect from one of their cigars with a fascinating flavor somewhere between that of a Sun Grown and an Opus X. if it really is sold at that reasonable price point I highly recommend it to anybody who enjoys fuente products!
