Arturo Fuente - Don Carlos (D.R.)
Robusto, 5x50

Review by Greg W.
June 14, 1998

Price: $8.00

Overall Rating: Did I Like the cigar? It was GREAT!

Another great Fuente product! At the price, I'm inclined to stick with Hemingways because I really could not see much of a difference in flavor or quality between this cigar and the Hemingway line. I'd never turn one of these down, though.
