Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Cigars

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.

An oily, good looking cigar that draws and burns very well. After it warms up, the cigar takes on a sweet, toasty flavor with heavy, rich notes of leather and coffee. Medium to full bodied. The Fuente Don Carlos Presidente rated 90 points.
