First Impressions: Casa Fuego by J. Fuego Cigars

Written by Walt in Cigars

Casa Fuego by Jesus Fuego

Up on the chopping block for the most recent First Impressions video is a cigar that I acquired at Cigarfest 2009. The day before the big event, JerryOpens in a new tab. and I managed to get behind the curtain and see the expo center floor while manufacturers were setting up.

As we were standing there talking with Sam LecciaOpens in a new tab., I noted that Jesus Fuego had a booth setup across from him. I was kind of surprised to see a boutique guy at Cigarfest and was very curious as to what he would be giving away to the masses the following day.

My curiosity was satisfied the following day as Jerry and I spoke with Jesus and were handed a Casa Fuego. Several weeks later, here I am lighting it up for the very first time to see how it compares to his premium lines.

What are your thoughts on a relatively
small manufacturer producing a cigar
for a large retailer such as Cigars International?

My name is Walt White and I've been riding motorcycles on and off since my early twenties. After more than a decade away from the sport, I came back - and I've been making up for lost time ever since. Based in Southeast Pennsylvania, I write and create videos about real motorcycle ownership: the bikes I ride, the gear I test, the roads I explore, and the community I've found along the way. I ride a 2022 Yamaha MT-09 SP and a 2023 Kawasaki Ninja 400, and I try to give you the honest take you'd get from a friend rather than a press release. I'm also a husband, dad to three girls, and a pitbull owner - which keeps life interesting off the bike too.

  3. I smoked one of these after Cigar Fest after I saw Don Pepin smoking one. I have to say I wasn’t impressed. Overly harsh. I have a couple more. Hopefully with age they’ll get better. It’s the first cigar from Jesus Fuego I haven’t enjoyed.
