Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark

The Don Carlos Eye of the Shark is more than a cigar—it’s a tribute to the vision, legacy, and craftsmanship of Carlos Fuente Sr. Released to celebrate his 80th birthday and the 30th anniversary of the Don Carlos brand, this cigar is as iconic as the man it honors. Its shape alone sets it apart: a striking hybrid that begins with a rounded belicoso head and tapers into a sharp box-pressed foot, creating a unique smoking profile that has become a hallmark within the Fuente family portfolio.

Packaged in vibrant red boxes with a refined variation of the classic Don Carlos band, the Eye of the Shark commands attention before the first draw. Wrapped in lush, oily Cameroon leaf that gleams with richness, the cigar promises complexity from the outset. Notes of oatmeal cookie, cocoa, and barnyard aromas rise from the wrapper, while the foot introduces sweeter tones of raisin, gingerbread, and pepper. Each detail—from presentation to construction—reflects the meticulous artistry that has made Arturo Fuente one of the most revered names in the cigar world.

Once lit, the Eye of the Shark delivers a journey of evolving flavors that capture both elegance and strength. It opens with nutty undertones balanced by salty sunflower seed and a creamy texture, before blossoming into bold waves of gingerbread, cinnamon, candied citrus, and sweet char. Medium-plus in flavor and body, and building in strength, it offers a complex, evolving profile that keeps the aficionado engaged from start to finish. The Eye of the Shark is not just a cigar—it is a celebration of tradition, a rare creation worthy of its legendary namesake, and a must-have for any true collector or connoisseur.
