Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Edición De Aniversario

Cigars Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Edición De Aniversario

In 2006, the Don Carlos Edicion de Aniversario was created by Carlito Fuente Jr. in tribute to his father, Carlos Fuente Sr. to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Arturo Fuente Don Carlos cigars assembled by his father.

Excerpt from Cigar Aficionado: "The Fuente family makes cigars Arturo Fuente Don Carlos since 1976four years longer than the Dominican Republic. This blend is the creation of Carlos Fuente Sr, the family patriarch. In 2006, his son, Carlos Fuente Jr, created the Don Carlos Edición de Aniversario to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Don Carlos cigars. He has replaced the Cameroon wrapper with the shade-grown Dominican leaf he uses on Fuente Fuente OpusX. He has also considerably increased the cigar's strength. The result is an extremely intense and complex blend, especially in the Double Robusto size. These cigars are wonderful, but particularly hard to find due to their extremely limited production."

An old favorite with a new twist by Gordon Mott, Cigar Aficionado: «From the very first puff, I was captivated by the complexity of this cigar. It had that subtle sweetness that I always find seductive in the Don Carlos line, but it had that layer of pepper and leather spice that I frequently taste in FFOX cigars. It doesn't quite have the power of an ordinary FFOX cigar, but the balance is extraordinary, there's an earthy, leathery note that lingers on the finish. I haven't tasted it blind, but I can say it's a cigar that would come close to our Classique category, or 95 points.»
