Information from My Discount Cigar:

The J. Fuego 777 Maduro Robusto cigars are manufactured by Jesus Fuego, a 5th generation Cuban tobacco grand master, who has blended cigars for some of the top cigar manufacturers in the industry. Jesus has branched off on his own and has blended several lines of cigars, including the bold and rich Nicaraguan puro 777 Maduro line which houses the intensity of the Corojo seed and the powerful piquancy of a maduro Criollo wrapper. Called the Triple Siete the J. Fuego 777 Maduro cigar is available in four sizes: Robusto, Belicoso, Corona and Toro and comes in bundles of 25, a sampler of 5, or as a single stick. J. Fuego 777 Maduro Robustos feature a 4-year-old criollo maduro wrapper, a corojo binder and filler tobaccos of a corojo and criollo blend. The J. Fuego 777 Maduro Robusto is a full-bodied blend with a dark ebony, oily and textured wrapper. As you begin your journey of smoking the J. Fuego 777 Maduro Robusto, in the forefront you will encounter layers of flavors such as espresso, leather and a finish of black pepper. But in the background of the J. Fuego 777 Maduro Robusto cigar you get a consistent creamy, semi-sweet chocolaty base. As you continue your smoking journey of this complex maduro you will notice the creaminess becoming more dominant as the spices mellow out and more sweetness comes to the forefront. The construction of the J. Fuego 777 Maduro Robustos ensures that it burns evenly, has a solid grayish ash and a reasonable draw. With over 100 years and 5 generations of experience, and his own company, Tabacos, S.A. in Honduras, Jesus Fuego is climbing the ladder in the cigar industry. Experience and taste Fuego's passion for his craft with the J. Fuego 777 Maduro Robusto today and you will be a convert for life!
