When a cigar line bears the name of the brand’s iconic patriarch, the natural expectation is perfection in every detail, in every cigar. The Don Carlos line from Arturo Fuente includes cigars in a variety of vitolas, including the Eye of the Shark in the Personal Reserve sub-series, which won Cigar Aficionado’s Cigar of the Year award in 2017.
The entire series is built on Dominican tobacco for both the filler and binder, carefully selected and aged for ten years. This is topped with a flawless African Cameroon wrapper, chocolatey in appearance and flavor, which itself poses a challenge for the rollers due to the small size of the leaves.
The Presidente is the longest cigar in the series (6 ½ x 50), offering over an hour and a half of enjoyment with its complex, balanced blend. It presents a mild to medium strength, with interesting flavor nuances ranging from wood and nutmeg to apple strudel and cinnamon.”
