Casa Fuente......You Guessed it!

**Mizicke5273** · 10-08-2008, 07:11 AM

So, my buddy will be heading out to Las Vegas next week for a dealer expo thing for work. Fate has it, that he will be staying at Caesars Palace. And of course I have asked him to pick me up some sticks form Casa Fuente. But I dont know what to have him get for me. Do they have a listing some where on the net of what they carry and prices? I would like to have an idea of how things cost there, and give him a bit of an idea as to what to get.

Ive tried doing a few google searches adn a quick site search, but nothing turned up.

www.vitolas.net has a listing with pictures and prices. It is not totally up to date but it is a great reference.

Damn, by the time I copied the link, you posted drew. Expensive is the word.....but they have a whole lot of fuente stuff you just don't see everywhere.

Was lookin to see if they had samplers of sorts and how much they were.

Guess I will get him to get me some anejos, opus x, and some hemi maduros. As for price, use MSRP and add the state tax for neveda?

Um, no, not exactly. Casa Fuente will be over MSRP, IIRC taxes are in the sell price, so what it is marked, is what you pay at the register.

I was there in March, don't remember the prices on Opus, but I didn't buy any so they weren't to my liking. The Casa Fuente corona gorda was $18/stick and was recommended by another brother so I picked up one of those and promptly smoked it....didn't go back and get another one though. They do have a 5 or 7 stick casa fuente sampler for about $150.

the ONLY cigars you will find at MSRP, are the Casa Fuentes... since they're made solely for the Casa Fuente in Caesars Palace. I think there is now an online retailer for them though.

All other Fuente products are WAY over MSRP.

Dang, I haven't been to Vegas for way too long... I love that place. Have a great time!

I'd just get the casa fuente stuff, other stuff can be found else where or traded for at much more reasonable prices.

Looks like Ill go for the Casa Fuente sampler then.

Thanks for the help and info guys.

i've had a couple of the casa fuenta's and they are pretty good smokes, as you would probably expect. I think you'll be happy with the samplers because as i understand, you could get the rest elsewhere. With Christmas coming up, and also the yearly release of Anejo's and other Fuente goodies, you should be covered in the other departments.

IIRC the price of the Casa Fuente sampler was $125. All the other sticks were rediculously over priced IMO. I am however used to Florida pricing.

Casa Fuente is the Mecca of the hobby. Sooner or later, you MUST go. For me, it has been an annual thing. I always buy my fill of Don Carlos lanceros - always. Then, I send my wife in to get hers

We do this once per day that we're in town.

I also like the CF corona gorda, so I'll grab a few of those. Yes, they're hideously priced, but I have come to terms with that.
