Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Belicoso

The use of high-quality Cameroon wrappers is a hallmark of exceptional craftsmanship, and the Don Carlos Belicoso is a prime example. This wrapper, known for its challenging fermentation process and distinctive appearance, is expertly paired with Dominican binder and filler tobaccos. The resulting flavor profile is a masterful blend of sweet and sour notes, complemented by a zesty, nutty character reminiscent of shaved almonds and candied orange peel. The precise ratio of wrapper to filler tobaccos allows the unique properties of each component to shine, creating a truly balanced and complex smoking experience. Named in honor of Carlos Fuente Sr., the founder of Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia., one of the largest family-owned premium cigar manufacturers, this line is a testament to the Fuente family's dedication to excellence. The Don Carlos blend, which has been a staple of the brand for three decades, combines the rich flavors of Cameroon and Dominican tobaccos. The Belicoso size, with its carefully calibrated dimensions and combustion rate, stands out among the seven sizes in the portfolio. After aging for at least a year, the Don Carlos Belicoso exhibits a rich, dark chocolate aroma that is evident in both its cold bouquet and on the palate. The refined and delicious flavor profile is enhanced by a satisfying finish, characterized by nutty, sweet, and sour notes. The overall smoking experience is a true delight, showcasing the Fuente family's expertise and commitment to quality.
