Description

Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark uses the Don Carlos line’s classic Cameroon-wrapped profile in one of Fuente’s most distinctive shapes.

The Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark 5 3/4 x 52 is a Dominican-made figurado with a Cameroon wrapper over Dominican binder and filler tobacco. Its Shark format is part rounded and part box-pressed, giving the cigar a recognizable shape that separates it from the standard Don Carlos vitolas.

The profile tends to lean medium-full, with Cameroon sweetness, cedar, toast, baking spice, nuts, and a steady Dominican tobacco core. Ranked No. 1 in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2017. The size and shape place it in a focused, medium-length format with more presence than a standard robusto.

Pairs well with espresso, bourbon, or aged rum.
