{"product_id":"arturo-fuente-don-carlos-robusto","title":"Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Robusto","description":"\u003cp data-end=\"615\" data-start=\"0\"\u003eArturo Fuente Don Carlos Robusto is built on aged Dominican tobaccos from the Don Carlos family reserves, wrapped in a dark, well-fermented leaf. It delivers cedar and toasted wood from the outset, followed by roasted nuts and espresso as the body develops. Dark cocoa and leather add depth through the middle, with black pepper providing a steady edge rather than sharpness. The profile stays balanced and composed, finishing long with cocoa, wood, and lingering spice. It pairs naturally with espresso, a well-aged single malt, or a dark rum, each matching the cigar’s structure and depth without overpowering it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"812\" data-start=\"617\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"628\" data-start=\"617\"\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5¼″\u003cbr data-is-only-node=\"\" data-end=\"635\" data-start=\"632\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"650\" data-start=\"635\"\u003eRing Gauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50\u003cbr data-end=\"656\" data-start=\"653\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"669\" data-start=\"656\"\u003eStrength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium to Full\u003cbr data-end=\"687\" data-start=\"684\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"698\" data-start=\"687\"\u003eVitola:\u003c\/strong\u003e Robusto\u003cbr data-end=\"709\" data-start=\"706\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"726\" data-start=\"709\"\u003eSmoking Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60–75 minutes\u003cbr data-end=\"743\" data-start=\"740\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"755\" data-start=\"743\"\u003eWrapper:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAfrican Cameroon \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"767\" data-start=\"764\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"778\" data-start=\"767\"\u003eBinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dominican\u003cbr data-end=\"791\" data-start=\"788\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"802\" data-start=\"791\"\u003eFiller:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dominican\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"568\" data-start=\"84\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"101\" data-start=\"84\"\u003eArturo Fuente:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"568\" data-start=\"84\"\u003eArturo Fuente traces its roots to 1912, when a young Cuban immigrant, \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eArturo Fuente\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, opened a small cigar factory in Tampa, Florida.
