Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Bull
Cigar Aficionado · Jan 1, 2025
The creative well seems to never run dry at Arturo Fuente Cigar Co., and that has a lot to do with the imaginative mind of its owner and patriarch Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr., whose quirky cigar names and fantastic blends add up to unforgettable smoking experiences. The Eye of the Bull is certainly one of them. He took the much-heralded Don Carlos blend—which is defined by its Cameroon wrapper—and rolled it in a short robusto format. These particular proportions seem to amplify the smoke in an unexpected way, as Eye of the Bull ended up being bolder than typical Don Carlos cigars. Its head-strong qualities intensify with every puff, charging in with a run of baking spices, cedar and walnut notes that leave a zesty orange peel finish. Don’t mistake this short robusto for a quick smoke. Despite its length, the cigar burns slow and cool, but makes its purpose known at first light. If you look carefully at the head of the cigar before you slice off the top, you’ll see a circle of dark tobacco in the center. That’s the bull’s eye, a wink to smokers from Carlito that this isn’t the Don Carlos you’re used to.

The Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Bull was an enjoyable if somewhat interesting cigar to smoke; I noted the time it took to get through each sample above, so we'll call that the first thing and get it out of the way. But where my attention was more squarely focused was on whether or not this new vitola would deliver the flavors that I have enjoy and have come to expect from the Don Carlos blend. After three cigars, I'm left to answer that question by saying, sort of. There are moments where the Eye of the Bull delivers, but if I was in search of the Don Carlos profile, I'm pretty confident that I'd find what I'm looking for in any number of retail humidors within a 15-minute drive of my house as opposed to trying to chase down some more of this cigar. Again, that's not to say that the Eye of the Bull isn't enjoyable—it is—and I think it will continue to develop and evolve with time, but for right this moment, I'd still grab a good ol' Don Carlos No. 2.
