The Don Carlos Limited Edition 2024 God of Fire Robusto is a tribute to heritage, harmony, and artistry. Limited to just 420 boxes worldwide, this rare vitola features an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, hand-selected by Carlos Fuente Sr., over vintage Dominican binder and filler tobaccos. The result is a medium-strength cigar with profound complexity and unmistakable refinement.
The God of Fire line itself began as a friendly yet passionate competition between father and son, Carlos and Carlito Fuente. While the filler blends are similar, the distinction lies in the wrapper: Carlos chose a robust Ecuadorian Habano, whereas Carlito preferred a sultry Cameroon leaf. This blend, under Don Carlos’ guidance, is “arguably the most well-rounded” of the entire God of Fire range—balancing nuanced flavours of spice, roasted nuts, and hints of pepper with a smooth, lingering sweetness.
Each cigar undergoes two to three additional years of post-roll ageing, allowing all components to reach optimal balance and maturity. The draw is consistently smooth, the burn perfectly even, and the finish luxuriously long.
Presented in Prometheus’s signature red and black lacquered boxes, adorned with mythological artwork, this release captures the legend of Prometheus, who defied the gods to bring fire to humanity. Like the titan himself, the God of Fire Robusto brings warmth, depth, and a touch of the divine to every smoking occasion.

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.

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.
