Named in honor of its legendary creator and Fuente family patriarch Don Carlos Fuente, Sr., Arturo Fuente Don Carlos cigars are one of the world's finest smokes. To create this masterpiece, Don Carlos blended together rare, vintage tobaccos that were hand selected and aged as much as 10 years. These cigars are rich and flavorful, with flawless dark African Cameroon wrappers, making them as appealing to the eye as they are to the palette. Because of the select tobacco required, these cigars are released in limited quantities and are among the finest cigars rolled at Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic. In every way possible, Don Carlos strives to attain the ultimate in rich flavor, flawless wrapper color and superior construction in every cigar that bears his name.

Fuente has impressive inventories of aged tobaccos, and it reserves its oldest leaves for use in the Don Carlos line, which is named after family patriarch Carlos Fuente Sr., who created the blend with his son Carlos Jr. and tobacco grower Rick Meerapfel. The cigars were impossible to find during the boom years of the 1990s, and while still not a common sight in cigar shop humidors, they are much easier to find than in years past. El Fumador tries to always have at least one unopened box of each size available.

As told by Carlos Fuente, Jr

"My grandfather made Perfecto cigars; they were very popular during the 1920's, 30's and 40's. When I was growing up we made perfectos by hand, but as time went by there were fewer and fewer cigar makers rolling perfectos. As the cigar makers grew older, they retired, they passed away. It took a real master to make a true Perfecto cigar. As a child I was fascinated with that shape and the really difficult art of the craft that the Perfecto cigar represents. So when we first came to the Dominican Republic in 1980, I thought we should start making those shapes again. At that time nobody was making shaped cigars. I wanted to bring back that old world style, just to keep the art, the tradition, the craft, alive. Today we make an entire line of Perfecto cigars. These cigars are something special for our fellow cigar smokers to enjoy. Hemingway cigars have a very warm place in my heart and in my memories. It is very pleasing for me to remember watching these shaped cigars being made by my grandfather, and to think that these cigars are now made in our factory in the Dominican Republic, that is very fulfilling. I hope that you enjoy the Hemingway cigars and what they mean to our family."
