Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Bull

The Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Bull is a cigar that embodies mystery, anticipation, and masterful craftsmanship. First teased at the 2022 PCA Convention & Trade Show under an unusual request for silence, it captivated onlookers even in its unfinished state. A year later, it reemerged as the centerpiece of the 2023 PCA show—this time available exclusively to retailers who placed their orders on-site. This aura of secrecy and exclusivity has only fueled its legend, making Eye of the Bull one of Fuente’s most talked-about modern creations.

Measuring 3 ½ x 55, the short robusto format delivers an experience unlike any other in the Don Carlos line. Wrapped in a rich Cameroon leaf over Dominican binder and fillers, the cigar boasts a distinctive feature: a dark accent of tobacco at the cap, creating the look of a true “bull’s eye.” Beyond its striking appearance, the craftsmanship is evident in the cigar’s firm roll, even wrapper color, and inviting aroma of sweet, slightly damp wood. Every detail underscores Fuente’s commitment to artistry, offering a cigar that is as visually intriguing as it is refined in flavor.

Once lit, Eye of the Bull delivers a journey of evolving complexity. It opens with dry wood and subtle sweetness before building into layers of white pepper, creaminess, and a retrohale full of vibrant spice. Medium in body with a strength profile that begins mild and steadily rises, it offers an experience that engages all the senses without overpowering them. Smoke production is steady, construction is precise, and each puff brings new dimensions to the blend. Rare, bold, and beautifully executed, the Don Carlos Eye of the Bull is more than just a cigar—it’s a statement of Fuente’s innovation and an unforgettable addition to the Don Carlos legacy.
