Named in honor of its legendary creator and Fuente family patriarch Carlos Fuente, Sr., Arturo Fuente Don Carlos cigars are one of the world’s finest smokes. To create this masterpiece, Carlos Fuente, Sr. blended together with rare, vintage tobaccos that were hand-selected and aged as much as 10 years. These cigars are rich and flavorful, with flawless 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, Carlos Fuente, Sr. strives to attain the ultimate in rich flavor, flawless wrapper color, and superior construction in every cigar that bears his name.
The Dominican-aged long-fillers and binders are held together by a lusciously dark, African Cameroon wrapper. While cocoa and nuts resonate as the most dominant flavors, they’re complemented by sweet cedar and mildly spiced smoke. Simply put, the Arturo Fuente cigar delivers a nuanced complexity that only grows in richness with each faultless draw of these medium-full smokes.

The Don Carlos has been around for a long time. It was first released in 1976. It amazes me how they’ve managed to keep this cigar consistent for so long. It is one of my favorite cigars ever made with a distinct flavor profile that is unique to Arturo Fuente and absolutely delicious. Nobody does Cameroon tobacco like Arturo Fuente. I prefer the No. 2 which can sometimes be hard to find but you really can’t go wrong with any of the vitolas. Construction and draw are always excellent. The Don Carlos is a cigar I can easily smoke every day, I highly recommend it.

Don Carlos is an absolute classic. The #3 corona I feel is the best vitola as it really delivers the flavors as intended. Get that earthy, baking spice, brown sugar and cedar. This cigar smoked absolutely beautifully. Great burn, draw was perfect and I didn’t have to touch it up once. It has that classic AF flavor of well aged tobacco that I expected and it definitely delivered on this. Great stick at a great price!

Fuente at its finest! I do find however that different size changes the character of the cigar wildly. I would recommend larger sizes itstead of smaller ones.

Been on the waitlist for a box of mini Belicoso for quite awhile, and finally was notified Oxford had a box for me. Definitely worth the wait, and this is definitely my favorite short smoke along with Padron Principe.

It’s easy to smoke, sweet, fruity, grainy and sweet, and burns well enough to give you 50 minutes of pleasure, good prices and discounts at Oxford station, fast shipping, and intact packaging with no breakage or bumps.
Generally speaking, I have bought cigars in Oxford Station for several times, and I am satisfied with their quality, delivery speed and service. Besides, the loading speed of new products is also very timely, and there are always many new products to choose from. I will continue to buy them later.

Look…if you haven’t tried this cigar..you’re slacking. Always fantastic. From construction to burn to flavor..this is a classic. Notes of roasted coffee, coco, spice and nuts. Overall a 9/10 cigar. Get it!

The Don Carlos is so much better than Opus to me. For the price, you get a great cigar, that burns phenomenally well, and has Fuente flavor in droves. These burn and smoke on par with other high-end, premium cigars. You won’t be disappointed with any of these, but my personal favorite is the #4 Mini Belicoso. The flavors hit just right at that size.

For someone who isn’t a huge cigar smoker this is one I thoroughly enjoyed to the very end. The taste, though mild, was pleasant and did not turn bitter at the end. The aroma was not overpowering, and my mouth didn’t taste like formaldehyde for the rest of the day like with some cigars. This one definitely makes it to my favorites list

In my view, the best Fuente cigar that doesn’t cost an absolute fortune – you’ve got the sweet-spice of the Cameroon wrapper over some really nutty Dominican filler. If you like the Hemingway series, but want to step up to something with a bit more body, this is the right step up – it’s really refined, and a perfect morning cigar alongside a cup of good coffee.

Its a Fuente. Its exactly what you’d expect. Solid construction. Good solid flavors. Transitions between thirds are wonderful. Gets more pepper the further you go, but never too much to blow out your palate.

Creamy cedar, sweet earth, almonds and black pepper. An extraordinary blend, it lives up to its accolades.
