Don Carlos Edición de Aniversario Robusto

The Don Carlos Edición de Aniversario Robusto is an exceptionally limited Fuente cigar created by Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr. in honor of his father, Don Carlos Fuente Sr. Introduced in 2006 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos line, this special edition transforms the classic Don Carlos concept with a rare Dominican shade-grown wrapper instead of the traditional Cameroon leaf.

Measuring 5 1/4 x 50, the Robusto combines its Dominican wrapper with Dominican binder and filler tobaccos. The result is a richer, more powerful expression of Don Carlos, delivering substantial complexity while preserving the refinement and construction associated with Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia.

Flavor Profile

The Don Carlos Edición de Aniversario Robusto delivers a considerably richer profile than the traditional Cameroon-wrapped Don Carlos. Expect a complex combination of baking spices, cedar, leather, roasted nuts and pepper balanced by deeper layers of natural sweetness.

A specially aged example reviewed by Cigar Aficionado displayed particularly complex notes of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove, complemented by molasses, vanilla and orange peel. These characteristics demonstrate the impressive aging potential of the blend.
