Arturo Fuente doesn’t only make expensive cigars. The company’s surprisingly affordable Especiales line of balanced Dominican smokes is artfully crafted from sun-grown Oliva Ecuadorean Habano wrappers, Dominican binders and a rich amalgam of premium aged Dominican filler tobaccos. These blend impeccably to produce sweet-tasting, medium-bodied sticks that are on the milder side in terms of strength yet still arouse the senses and pique a smoker’s curiosity from the first creamy draw.
Seasoned palates will be intrigued by infusions of cinnamon, nutmeg, graham cracker, white pepper, bittersweet chocolate, cedar, toasted nuts and dried fruit, followed by a cayenne-pepper finish.
These are ideal cigars for a leisurely daytime smoke or a casual afternoon poker game with friends. Boasting flawless construction, voluminous smoke and a near-perfect burn, Especiales are assembled with pride by the master rollers at the Tabacalera A. Fuente factory in Santiago.
See why a “value-priced smoke” isn’t necessarily a sacrifice in quality; the diverse vitolas of the Especiales line prove you don’t have to spend a fortune or travel to the ends of the Earth to acquire a world-class Arturo Fuente cigar.
