Don Carlos Cigars represent the pride of a family tradition in cigar making that began in 1912. Named after the company founder Don Carlos Fuente, Sr. the Don Carlos is often considered the finest cigar in the world. It was first released in 1976 when the family re-emerged after fleeing the political atmosphere in Cuba with seed stock to rebuild their famous blends but disappeared from the market shortly thereafter when the family run company met with difficulties caused by the Sandanistas. After a brief period when the company was closed down the Fuente family was once again able to re-establish the Don Carlos Cigars Company by returning to the market in 1986 with its headquarters located in Tampa, Florida where it remains to this day as force to be reckoned with in the world of fine smoking traditions.
The Don Carlos cigar is a pleasant subtle cigar that any smoker will appreciate from novice to experienced cigar lover. It has a delicious soft flavor and aroma that won''t overpower a beginner to the world of fine tobacco yet has enough mellow taste to delight even the most select aficionado. It is made with the finest of Dominican Republic tobacco fillers grown from Cuban seed stock and wrapped in delicate leaves from Ecuador and Indonesia. Ecuadorian wrappers are the most sought after cigar wrappings in the world. The creation of the Don Carlos was not taken lightly and it took a long time to approve the specific blend that would be the signature line of the family.
The Fuente family does not take its heritage frivolously and demands nothing but the finest quality in their cigars aimed at pleasing the most dedicated connoisseurs. The Don Carlos cigar is the most famous and sought cigar in the world today because of this family''s dedication to excellence and the stunning perfection each cigar embodies.
