This year Carlos Fuente Sr. turned 80-years-old. It also marked the 30th birthday for his eponymous brand, Don Carlos. To celebrate the occasion, Arturo Fuente is releasing two cigars: the Don Carlos Eye of the Shark and the Don Carlos Private Reserve. Eye of the Shark is a smaller version of the company’s popular Shark size measuring 5 3/4 x 52 instead of the normal 5 5/8 x 54 made famous by the Añejo size. The Shark is noted for its peculiar shape which starts with a rounded belicoso-like tip but transforms into a square box-pressed foot. It was shown off at the IPCPR Convention & Trade Show and part of Fuente’s show special. Retailers who purchased 25 boxes of regular production items are given the chance to a buy a box each of the: Eye of the Shark, Don Carlos Private Reserve Robusto, Añejo 8-8-8, OpusX Rosado Oscuro Oro and Short Story Maduro. Earlier this month, the Eye of the Shark began shipping to retailers. The cigar ships in vibrant red boxes with the cigars containing a unique take on the typical Don Carlos band.
