I was at work, had some down time so I decided to take an extended smoke break with this Arturo Fuente Don Carlos #4, provided by Cigars Direct. After I removed the cellophane and prepared my cutter, I noticed the cap was a little larger than I’ve seen on a lot of other cigars. I like this quality in a cigar, just in case I cut a bit high.

After lighting up, I pondered the smoke and decided that this was indeed a very smooth tasting cigar. I’m not one that cares a lot about how a cigar burns, but the ash was a piece of art that remained tight and even until I finally knocked it off a few inches down. As the burn approached the band, I noticed a small tear in the wrapper, about 1/4″ long. This tear didn’t seem to affect the draw or take away from my experience and may have been caused by me transporting it in my bag to work.

Normally, I smoke my cigars until the draw gets hot and this normally occurs head-side of where the band was. However, with this Arturo Fuente it just kept going and going. I smoked this cigar until I couldn’t fit my fingers between the burn and my lips. Every moment of this cigar was delightful. I have several more of these, I can’t wait to smoke them. I’m giving this cigar a B+.

If you would like to try one of these, you can find these and other Arturo Fuente Cigars at Cigarsdirect.com.
