The blend opens with cedar, roasted nuts, and toasted bread, moving into espresso, dark cocoa, and black pepper through the middle. A natural sweetness runs beneath the profile, with leather and earth developing as the cigar settles. The finish remains long and composed, closing on cocoa, spice, and warm wood. It pairs comfortably with a well-aged single malt, a dark rum, or a straight espresso, each matching the cigar’s depth without distraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"829\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"650\"\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e5 1\/4″\u003cbr data-start=\"654\" data-end=\"657\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"657\" data-end=\"672\"\u003eRing Gauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e52\u003cbr data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"678\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"691\"\u003eStrength:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMedium to Full\u003cbr data-start=\"706\" data-end=\"709\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"709\" data-end=\"720\"\u003eVitola:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eShark\u003cbr data-start=\"726\" data-end=\"729\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"729\" data-end=\"746\"\u003eSmoking Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e90 minutes\u003cbr data-start=\"757\" data-end=\"760\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"760\" data-end=\"772\"\u003eWrapper:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e African Cameroon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"781\" data-end=\"784\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"795\"\u003eBinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDominican\u003cbr data-start=\"805\" data-end=\"808\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"808\" data-end=\"819\"\u003eFiller:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eDominican\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"84\" data-end=\"568\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"84\" data-end=\"101\"\u003eArturo Fuente:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"84\" data-end=\"568\"\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.
