Cigar Review: J. Fuego Delirium Robusto

July 31, 2008

If you pay attention to the cigar news at all or read this site you’ve probably heard of the Xikar Defiance. Jesus Fuego is the man behind that cigar, and the J. Fuego Cigars are his own line.

The Cuvee line is made by Cusano Cigars and takes its name from the highest proof of alcohol sold in the United States. It was intended to be released in 2007, but the Chiusanos were not happy with the blend so it was reblended and now readily available.
