I've talked quite a bit about the cigars from Jesus Fuego quite a bit this week, so I decided to finish out the week by looking at what others have said. The cigar the first introduced me to J.Fuego was the Xikar Defiance, even though I'd probably smoked cigars in the past that he's responsible for blending. At the IPCPR Trade Show I got a chance to meet him and was introduced to the Triple 7, Delirium and Gran Reserva Corojo No. 1.
You've heard several cigar bloggers talk about the cigars that Don Pepin makes and one of those was my Top Cigar of 2007. Well the cigars from J. Fuego are now the ones I'm raving about. If someone in my local tobacconists humidor asks my opinion on what to buy, at least one of the cigars Irecommend is his. Alright I hope I've done enough to convey my enthusiasm for these cigars, time to see what the other lunatics on the web have to say about them.
Delirium Reviews:
- Her Humidor went cuckoo over it.
- Doc Stogie Fresh enjoyed it but prefers the Corojo. He featured the cigar in Episode 123.
- Puffing Cigars gave it high marks too.
- Walt at Stogie Review agrees that you'll be hearing Fuego as much as you here Pepin soon.
Gran Reserva Corojo No. 1 Reviews:
- Smoke Reviews enjoyed it, but had trouble with loose ash.
- Walt at Stogie Review loved it, but the price put it out of the every day smoke range.
- Cigar Command didn't enjoy it.
Xikar Defiance:
- A Cigar Smoker's Journal loved it.
- Walt at SR and I agree, this cigar needs to be talked about more!
- Brian the Mighty One enjoyed his but had problems with one of the two he smoked.
- Her Humidor loved it, but thought it got boring in the final third.
That's just a few of the reviews out there. Seriously track down these cigars if you can!

I agree about the Defiance – needs more exposure. I was pleasanttly surprised – smoked five of them so far. I intend to buy some more the next time I’m at the local cigar shop.
I had my first Delirium a week ago and it was truly an amazing cigar.
