Carlos Fuente Sr. put his name on this one, and the family still calls it his cigar. A Cameroon wrapper over Dominican filler that has been aged longer than almost anything else Fuente rolls at this price.
Cameroon leaf brings a particular sweet-savory quality — toasted nuts, cinnamon, cedar — and the aged filler underneath keeps everything smooth. Seven shapes, several of them belicosos.
