Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva

Few premium cigar companies have the respect and reputation that Arturo Fuente deservedly carries. From their earliest days they have followed the mantra of “Never Rush the Hands of Time.” Sounds nice, doesn’t it? But what does that have to do with premium cigars? Simply put, they will not make more cigars than they are capable of producing well. Production volume at the expense of quality does not exist in a Fuente factory. Since 1912, this reputation has allowed them to plot their own course and not bend to market pressure for more cigars. The Fuente portfolio is built of several core lines that include instantly recognizable names such as Gran Reserva, Hemingway, OpusX, Don Carlos, and in this case Chateau Fuente. Each line has a special meaning to the Fuente family, and each line is constructed with care.

The Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva is one of the most popular cigars in the entire Fuente portfolio. It’s easy to understand why. These cigars are incredibly consistent. They taste great, and they are priced extremely well in today’s market. This is one of the first premium cigar lines to feature a cedar wrap and ribbon foot in their packaging. It is a standout in a walk-in humidor full of cigars. Composed of Dominican Fuente-grown filler and binder leaves, the Gran Reserva uses a beautiful Cameroon wrapper leaf. Tasting notes include flavors of nuts, cocoa, and cedar with hints of pepper and dried fruits. If you ever wondered why Fuente has the reputation it has earned, smoke a Fuente Gran Reserva, and you’ll soon understand why.
