Arturo Fuente Don Carlos cigars are considered by many experienced cigar smokers to be the finest of all Arturo Fuente cigars, including the OpusX! Yet unlike that superstar cigar, this homage to the late Fuente patriarch's personal blend is more nuanced. Rolled in Grade-1 African Cameroon wrappers grown by the esteemed Meerapfel family, the Dominican binder and filler core comprise some of Fuente's oldest estate-grown tobaccos. The result is a velvety smoke with notes of leather, cedar, roasted nuts, cocoa, and sweet spices. Top that with an even burn and a floral aroma and it doesn't get much better than this. The ratings for Don Carlos cigars are also off-the-hook. In 2015 the Don Carlos Belicoso received an Aficionado 94, which also made it the #4 Cigar of the Year. Meanwhile, the No.2 has twice received a 94. Carl, one of our verified buyers, gave the Robusto 5-stars and said: "This is a medium strength flavorful cigar…expensive and sometimes hard to get, but they are worth it." And about the No.4, verified buyer William D. wrote: "Great Cameroon wrapper. I've smoked a lot of cigars and narrowed my search to this cigar. It checks all the boxes." No wonder cigar smokers have been singing the praises of Arturo Fuente Don Carlos cigars since their release in 1997. Today they're a super-premium classic, making them a MUST-have for every avid cigar smoker. Be sure to add some to your cart today.
