I found a great cigar
I have been looking for a great cigar to go golfing with for years. I think I found one that is very nice and smooth. There are so many cigars out there to choose from that I think I have a life time job trying new cigars. Oh well, you gotta have something to do. Here are some other reviews too. I went with the Arturo Fuente. I have some reviews below but I think this a a great cigar for the links or the stock market. It’s great when you find something and it’s especially great when you find a great cigar at a great price. Life is just grand. Thanks Arturo Fuente
This is a great cigar. As good as any cigar on the market. Well worth the extra dollar or two for a fantastic cigar. – Ron R
Back to back sensational showings from the Don Carlos line. This cigar was exceptional and was the equal of the #3 I had a few days earlier. Highly recommend this cigar as well. – Ryan
Rated 88. Oily, toothy with nice leaf construction. Very consistent Don Carlos flavor. Slightly uneven burn, fixed itself. Long flakey ash that fell fairly flush with foot. Slightly sweet aroma and finish, very rich flavors and well balanced. Fairly consistent the whole way through with a gradual build in body down to the nub. – Cigar.com, July 2006 (TN)
Rated 92. A very good-looking torpedo with a chocolate-brown wrapper. Well-balanced notes of coffee, cedar and earth come through before a toasty finish. – Cigar Insider, January 2006
Smoked this with a good friend. I found that I liked the other Arturo Fuente cigars better. This was a little too pricy becuase I found the cigar not too impressive or unique. It had a med spice but it was a bit harsh. – Jon Lung
Don Carlos Double Robusto |
Rated 87. Toothy, oily, with a silky smooth wrapper, excellent vein construction. Milky, smooth start with thick smoke. Slightly tight pull but a lot of flavor. Earthy aroma and sweet on the palate. Slightly uneven burn. Very consistent body and aromas. Not the best of the line. – Cigar.com, July 2006 (TN)
Rated 89. Rich smoke loads the palate with nutty and caramel flavors. The mellow finish has a light cedar note. A smooth and rich cigar overall. – Cigar Insider, January 2006
Rated 88. This toothy cigar has a fine, even draw. Teh smoke has cedar and sweet spice on the palate, and it builds in a richness as it is smoked to develop solid earthy flavors. Medium bodied. – Cigar Aficioando, October 2006
Don Carlos you are a Genius. Another Super fine Mouth watering cigar. I cannot smoke enough of these, and they are also stocked in my Humidor. – K Doty
| Don Carlos No. 2 |
This cigar has a slow start but after the first inch it becomes a classic. A very nice looking cigar. – Jason H.
Rated 90. Toothy, silky smooth with a darker wrapper, solid to the touch. Effortless draw with a very rich aroma. Smooth thick smoke with a dark gray ash, some floral notes. Not too sweet on the palate. Not the greatest burn but complex, consistent and balanced. – Cigar.com, July 2006 (TN)
Rated 91. Well made and attractive, this cigar has a smooth draw and even burn. Wood flavors carry traces of cinnamon and leather, finishing on a toasty note. – Cigar Insider, January 2006
Rated 87. Good construction and color on this figurado, which has a fine draw. It has a solid medium body, with hints of coffee grounds. – Cigar Aficionado, February 2007
| Don Carlos No. 3 |
Just finished one of these fine cigars. Unbelievably smooth with an excellent draw. This is my favorite of the Fuente line so far and I have had a few. I recommend this cigar to everyone out there. – Ryan
It is almost pathetic to see the “89″ as a rating for this cigar. I have never smoked a better non-Cuban cigar, and even then only a couple Cubans might narrowly edge this Fuente Carlos #3 on my taste buds, most notably being the Montecristo Gran Corona A. Other than that, this cigar is as good as it gets. Period. – old mole
I agree with the last review. An 89 rating in Cigar Aficianado is shocking. This became one of my “top Five” after a few puffs and I have smoked them all. Lots and lots of flavor from this cigar. – Blair
Rated 89. Oily, toothy, silky and a slightly veiny wrapper that’s solid to the touch. Effortless draw with a mellow start. Filler burned slightly slower than binder and wrapper. Very consistent, slightly complex without too much development. Well balanced, medium all around, foot to nub. Very consistent Don Carlos character and flavor. – Cigar.com, July 2006 (TN)
Rated 89. This corona burns evenly, giving off a rich, nutty aroma. It delivers a nice range of cocoa, roasted coffee and charred wood flavors. The finish is nutty as well. – Cigar Insider, January 2006
| Don Carlos No. 4 |
great cigar. i love all of the Don Carlos line. everyone of them has a very similar taste, burn, and draw. they are worth the money. but try the #3 first. it will knock your socks off…if your wearing any. – david z
Rated 89. Smooth, seamless, oily and toothy wrapper. Easy draw with lots of smoke and a tight dark ash. Excellent burn and construction. Slight spice developed, great aroma. Slight tar build up near the end. Very consistent the whole way through, great cigar and a great size for the blend. – Cigar.com, July 2006 (TN)
Rated 89. A well-made short figurado with an even burn. Its firm draw imparts sweet caramel notes and a leathery, peppery finish. Good strength and depth for a small cigar. – Cigar Insider, January 2006
| Don Carlos Presidente |
Rated 90. Silky smooth, oily and toothy with a dark aromatic wrapper. Amazing pull with a burst of flavor and lots of smoke. Subtle sweetness with a very tight flake-less ash, very smooth flavor. Very consistent, slightly bitter 2nd half but faded away. Medium to full flavor with a mild body. Solid cigar. – Cigar.com, July 2006 (TN)
Rated 88. This cigar shows toast and wood flavors that are mellow, yet rich. The earthy finish smacks of spice and leather. A well-balanced cigar that improves as it burns. – Cigar Insider, January 2006
Rated 88. This cigar has a veiny wrapper and a nice draw. The smoke is sweet, with ginger notes, lots of wood and caramel, and a touch of dry wood. Medium bodied and sweet. – Cigar Aficionado, December 2007

One of the most consistent burning cigars that I have ever smoked. The taste is outstanding. The draw is exceptional. This is a cigar well worth the price! – Mark
