Wow, just had my 1st Magnum R52 tonight. Quite refreshing to have a mild-medium (closer to med.) smoke that keeps your attention. Your flavor notes are spot on. Cedar/Light leather base flavor, and the nuts, pepper, and sungrown wrapper “tang” really bob and weave in and out. The balance of this stick was superb, and construction on mine was top notch. I rarely nub a cigar, and nubbed this one.

Easily one of the 5 best sticks I’ve had in the past year.

I had to move my wife from Buffalo to Sarasota. On my way back up I went in Thompson and they had a Fuente thing going on and I got a Box of the 52’s for $137.00. I shared one with a friend and ours were both well constructed and were a pleasure to smoke. I think some time in the humidor will make them better. I also got a few opus x lost city and prefexion A cigars. Have not tried either of them yet. Might save them for when I retire from the Navy this November. The lady from Fuente was super nice and signed my box and free hat. She even gave me a free stick for the drive back and it was good also. It saved me in a traffic jam on 75.

Wow I smoked this yesterday and it was a well balanced smoke. I smoke alot of full-bodied cigars but this was a wonderful departure from the peppery world of LFD or Opus whom i love so much. Some people have to get that a great cigar is supposed to be balance and not just sweet/flavorful or just a peppery/powerhouse. Thats my rant and I’m done. A truley phenomenal smoke and one that will soon be in my humidor.

Hi Brian,

Great review. I had one of these on Friday and could not have enjoyed it more. The construction and appearance on mine was outstanding. The flavor was intriguing for the first inch and then past that point I arrived in flavor country. The rest of the cigar was quite frankly exceptional. Paired with Glenmorangie Single Malt I could not have asked fo a better hour of cigar smoking. Box-worthy all the way.

I picked up 3 of these at my local as well – decent cigar, especially being a big fat Fuente at this price point, but I also thought the quality control was lacking. Lots of glue spatter all over the cigars that I picked up. I’m letting the last one of the three rest a little longer and I’m going to revisit it on a warmer day a few months down the road and then decide if I’m going to buy more.

As it warms up in my neck of the woods, I am looking some something different or special and I think I will have to add this stick to my list.
