Created in honor of the legendary Don Carlos Fuente, Sr.—the visionary behind Arturo Fuente and patriarch of the Fuente family—the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Gran Reserva is a cigar of exceptional pedigree and craftsmanship. Made with meticulously aged Dominican tobaccos (some resting for up to a decade) and wrapped in a rare, toothy African Cameroon leaf, it delivers a smoking experience that’s as refined as it is memorable.
Each cigar reveals layers of baking spice and bright citrus, unfolding into a complex bouquet of roasted nuts and leather, all tied together by a warm, lingering finish of cedar and cider. It's a blend that rewards a slow, thoughtful smoke—offering new nuances with every draw.
Recognized globally for its excellence, the Don Carlos Gran Reserva earned a 97 rating from Cigar Aficionado and was named #1 Cigar of the Year in 2017—a testament to the legacy of a true master and the passion behind every leaf.
