As the flagship line of Arturo Fuente, the Gran Reserva represents the influence and mastery of the four generations of the Arturo Fuente family, from founder Arturo Fuente to his great-granddaughter Liana, who is in line to inherit the legendary company from her father Don “Carlito” Carlos Junior, son of late family patriarch Don Carlos Senior.
The various vitolas of Gran Reserva cigars are available with Cameroon, Connecticut Broadleaf, Connecticut Shade, Claro/Candela or Sungrown wrappers, depending on the smoker’s preference and availability. These wrappers surround renowned Arturo Fuente Dominican fillers and binders to produce superbly constructed, long-burning and easy-drawing smokes that consistently exceed many of the strictest quality control standards in the cigar industry in order to be worthy of the Arturo Fuente name. Once they’re painstakingly rolled, finished Gran Reserva sticks are aged to pure perfection in Spanish cedar vaults at the Tabacalera A. Fuente factory in Santiago in the Dominican Republic.
Cedar, cocoa, leather, hay, coffee, spices, nuts, cream, chocolate, and fruit are just a few of the rich notes imparted by the assorted variants of the Gran Reserva line, depending on which size and wrapper type you choose. These velvety smooth, mellow-to-medium-bodied cigars are some of the best the legendary Arturo Fuente family has to offer, and as incontrovertible proof of that, they’ve been a highly sought-after choice among smokers for decades.
