A very nice cigar as expected from Arturo Fuente. Medium body, with a nice assortment of flavors. Excellent construction, with a slow, even, cool burn. Never harsh. So smooth from start to finish ... it makes the cigar seem milder than it actually is.. Hints of nuts and toasted bread and cedar, with assorted spices. Very consistent ... I have not gotten a dud as of yet for the several I have smoked. I got a five pack of the Don Carlos on promo with a free five pack of Fuente Cuban coronas. They are a bit pricey at regular pricing which is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5 stars. If you spot a sale or a promo, definitely pull the trigger and buy some. You will not be disappointed.
