Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark Gift Box

Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark Gift Box captures the brand’s most celebrated shape in a travel-ready five-pack. Named Cigar Aficionado’s 2017 Cigar of the Year, the Shark blends Cameroon sweetness with a cool box-press draw that swims past ordinary limits.

Crafting the Eye of the Shark

Everything begins on Fuente family farms. First, Dominican fillers age in rum barrels, gaining warm molasses. Next, a toothy African Cameroon wrapper—drawn from a dedicated nine-year allotment—adds cream and spice. Then, master rollers press the lower half into a square while leaving the tapered head round, creating the trademark “shark” silhouette that slips easily between the lips. Because each cigar rests a further six months in cedar, lighting feels effortless and burn lines stay sharp.

Flavour journey of the Eye of the Shark

At spark, sweet cedar and dried fig greet the palate. Soon, cocoa powder and baking spice glide through thick smoke, while gentle pepper lifts the retro-hale. Midway, honey, almond, and toasted bread push body to smooth medium-plus without bite. Finally, leather and soft earth linger past the band, closing a fifty-minute performance with refined balance.

Why choose the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark Gift Box

Firstly, the five-count format makes a rare cigar shareable or collectible without committing to a 20-count chest. Secondly, each cedar coffin shields the delicate Cameroon wrapper during travel. Thirdly, a gold serial sticker on every lid—and the unmistakable shark taper—guarantee provenance.
