The Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Edición de Aniversario "The Man's 80th" – Eye of the Bull is a tribute to the legendary Don Carlos Fuente Sr., crafted to commemorate his 80th birthday. This limited-edition cigar, measuring 3½ inches with a 55 ring gauge, features a distinctive dark maduro circle on the cap, resembling a bull's eye, symbolising precision and strength.
Handcrafted at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. in the Dominican Republic, the Eye of the Bull showcases a rich African Cameroon wrapper over a blend of vintage Dominican binder and filler tobaccos aged up to 10 years. This combination delivers a complex flavour profile with notes of cedar, baking spices, candied walnut, and a zesty orange peel finish. Despite its compact size, the cigar offers a slow, cool burn, providing a luxurious and memorable smoking experience.
As Carlos Fuente Jr. stated, "My dream wasn't to be the biggest, just the best." The Eye of the Bull embodies this philosophy, representing the pinnacle of the Don Carlos line and the Fuente family's dedication to excellence.
Arturo Fuente Cigars – A Century of Excellence
Few names in the world of cigars command the same reverence as Arturo Fuente. Established in 1912 in West Tampa, Florida, the brand has grown from modest beginnings into a global symbol of heritage, consistency, and excellence. After enduring early setbacks, including fire and displacement, the Fuente family rebuilt their legacy with unrelenting dedication, eventually relocating to the Dominican Republic, where their most iconic cigars are now made.
At the heart of every Arturo Fuente cigar is an uncompromising devotion to quality—only the finest tobaccos are selected, aged, and rolled by master craftsmen. From the celebrated Opus X to the distinguished Don Carlos, Hemingway, and Gran Reserva lines, the portfolio spans the full spectrum of flavour and strength, catering to every level of cigar enthusiast.
As Carlos Fuente Sr. famously stated, “We don’t hurry things; we just do things the way they’re supposed to be done.” That same ethos continues to guide every cigar bearing the Arturo Fuente name.
