Arturo Fuente's Don Carlos Robusto is rolled in Grade-1 African Cameroon wrappers grown by the esteemed Meerapfel family. The Dominican binder and filler core comprise some of Fuente’s oldest estate-grown tobaccos. The result is a velvety smoke with notes of leather, cedar, roasted nuts, cocoa, and sweet spices. Top that with an even burn and a floral aroma and it doesn’t get much better than this.
The ratings for Don Carlos cigars are also off-the-hook. In 2015 the Don Carlos Belicoso received an Aficionado 94, which also made it the #4 Cigar of the Year. Meanwhile, the No.2 has twice received a 94.
