Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark

The Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark is a cigar that not only honors the legacy of its creator, Don Carlos Fuente, Sr., but also showcases the meticulous craftsmanship that defines the Fuente family tradition. This exceptional cigar is part of the prestigious Don Carlos series and represents the culmination of a lifetime dedicated to perfecting the art of cigar-making.

Distinguished by its unconventional shape, the Eye of the Shark starts with a rounded, belicoso-like tip that transitions into a box-pressed foot, reminiscent of a shark's silhouette. This unique form enhances the cigar's burn and flavor development, making it a standout in both appearance and tasting experience.

At the heart of this exceptional cigar are rare, vintage tobaccos hand-selected and aged for up to 10 years. These tobaccos, combined with a flawless African Cameroon wrapper, create a blend that is rich and flavorful, delivering a smoking experience that is as visually striking as it is satisfying to the palate. The wrapper exudes an enticing aroma reminiscent of oatmeal cookies, with hints of barnyard, leather, and a touch of cocoa. Upon lighting, the Eye of the Shark reveals a symphony of flavors, including gingerbread, orange, sweet milk chocolate, and an array of baking spices, all underpinned by subtle citrus notes.

Each Eye of the Shark is meticulously hand-rolled at the Tabacalera A. Fuente in the Dominican Republic, ensuring superior construction and consistency. The binder and filler, both sourced from the Dominican Republic, further enhance the cigar’s depth and complexity. This attention to detail and commitment to quality is a hallmark of the Fuente family’s approach to cigar-making, a tradition upheld by Carlos Fuente, Jr., who strives to achieve the ultimate in rich flavor and flawless presentation in every cigar that bears his father’s name.

The Eye of the Shark is available in beautiful red boxes of 20 cigars, each adorned with the iconic golden Arturo Fuente band. Measuring 146 mm in length with a 52 ring gauge, this cigar offers a medium to full-bodied smoke that is both refined and memorable. Whether enjoyed on a special occasion or as a personal indulgence, the Eye of the Shark stands as a testament to Don Carlos Fuente, Sr.’s enduring legacy and his unwavering pursuit of excellence.
