The Legendary Don Carlos Cigar Humidor Showcases Fuente's Finest

The Legendary Don Carlos Humidor

The Don Carlos brand of premium cigars, produced by Arturo Fuente Cigars, is considered one of the finest cigar lines in the world. The legendary Don Carlos cigar pays homage to company founder, Carlos Fuente Sr, and the specially crafted Don Carlos humidor is a fitting tribute to this giant of the cigar industry.

History of Don Carlos Cigars

Carlos Fuente Sr originally launched the Don Carlos line of cigars in 1976 as a special release to commemorate his youngest son. Only a small quantity was hand-rolled and the cigars were gifted to close friends and associates. The incredible quality and complex flavor profile built the reputation of Don Carlos into something approaching mythic status amongst cigar aficionados.

Today, Don Carlos remains an ultra-premium, exceptionally limited line of cigars rolled by the master blenders at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia in the Dominican Republic. Featuring meticulously aged Dominican long-fillers wrapped in rare Cameroon wrappers, the complex sweet spices and elegant hint of aged wood in the flavor has made this marque a true classic.

The Precision Production Process

The tobacco leaves destined to become legendary Don Carlos cigars are subject to years of meticulous attention throughout the production process. From optimized soil and growing conditions, the wrapper leaves are aged for several years in perfect conditions before meticulous selections are made for the Master Blender to create the unique Don Carlos blend.

Each cigar is entirely handmade by Cuban-trained artisans called torcedors in the Chateau de la Fuente cigar factory. Every single leaf must pass numerous quality control checks for optimal appearance and construction. This level of skill and precision is what makes Don Carlos one of the most respected ultra-premium boutique cigar brands worldwide.
