Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Sangre de Toro “Undefeated” — Box of 20

A 5½ × 46 Corona Gorda from Arturo Fuente’s Don Carlos Sangre de Toro line, made at the company’s Dominican Republic factory. It pairs a dark Mexican San Andrés wrapperwith a Dominican binder and filler—a notable change from the traditional Don Carlos profile. The box contains 20 cigars. cigaraficionado.com

The slimmer ring gauge lets the wrapper’s character come through clearly. Expect a medium-full flavour profile with pepper and wood at the forefront, supported by earthiness and a subtle creamy quality. Published tasting notes also describe salty smoke, roasted nuts, raisin bread, pumpernickel and a hint of cocoa on the finish. The flavours may shift from cigar to cigar, and reviewers’ strength assessments differ. es.halfwheel.com
