Description
The Arturo Fuente Curly Head Deluxe Natural is a slim 6 1/2 x 43 cigar with a Connecticut shade wrapper, per Arturo Fuente’s own listing. JR Cigar lists it as made in the Dominican Republic with Dominican binder and filler, and Fuente says its fans have been choosing it for decades.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado noted in January 2021 that it rarely, if at all, scores Curly Heads, and we found no scored review of the Deluxe Natural from a major outlet. Fuente credits the Connecticut shade leaf with a creamy, smooth smoke. JR Cigar describes a golden-brown wrapper and a mellow-to-medium smoke, while Neptune Cigar’s listing calls it mild, with sweetness and a bit of spice.
Who It’s For
- Newer smokers who want a gentle Fuente before stepping up to the Gran Reserva.
- Golfers and fishermen who prefer a thin cigar they won’t mind setting down.
- Connecticut shade fans looking for a light-wrapped Dominican everyday smoke.

About the Curly Head
Cigars International describes the Curly Head as a Cuban-sandwich blend and keeps it separate from the Gran Reserva family. Fuente’s own site lists both Curly Heads alongside its Especiales, apart from the Gran Reserva page.
