Don Carlos Private Blend Eye of the Shark Box

The Don Carlos Private Blend Eye of the Shark comes in red 20 ct. boxes bearing the Don Carlos Edicion de Aniversario logo and “The Man’s 80th,” being one of two cigars blended by Carlos Fuente Sr. commemorating his 80th birthday and the 30th anniversary of the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos brand.  The Arturo Fuente Don Carlos was blended by Carlos Fuente Sr. and to this day supervises the brand maintain superb quality and consistency.  The Don Carlos has a sweet-spicy Cameroon wrapper and an all Dominican filler blend of leaves coming from Arturo Fuente farms, but so far Arturo Fuente has not made publicly available the details of the blend of the Don Carlos Private Blend Eye of the Shark.  According to sources, it is a modified version of the regular Don Carlos that was blended by Carlos Sr. for his own private use with a very special aged Cameroon wrapper and aged fillers from Fuente farms in the Dominican Republic.

From Cigar Aficionado: “Each generation of the Fuente family has created their own blend,” explained Sam Mendez, general manager of the Fuente cigar factory in the Dominican Republic. “The founder, Arturo Fuente’s personal cigar was a 6 inch by 47 ring corona gorda. The Fuente family started producing it commercially in his honor as the Flor Fina 8-5-8. Of course the Fuente Fuente OpusX is Carlos Fuente Jr.’s personal blend. But Carlos Fuente Sr.’s personal cigar is the Don Carlos Robusto. He continued to secretly tweak the blend, but only for his personal use.”

The Don Carlos Private Blend Eye of the Shark is a smaller version of the famous Opus X Shark vitola.  The Don Carlos Private Blend Eye of the Shark is also a box pressed Belicoso but measures 5 3/4″ x 52, just smaller than the 5 5/8″ x 54 Shark.
