Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba Doble Dos

Description

The Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba Doble Dos carries real personal history — widely regarded as one of the last significant blends created by Carlos Fuente Sr., a tribute to the way he learned to roll cigars from his own father decades before the family ever set up shop in the Dominican Republic.

Construction & Origin

Casa Cuba launched in 2013 as Fuente’s first new brand since Opus X debuted in 1995 — notably, the “Arturo Fuente” name doesn’t appear anywhere on the band, a deliberate choice to let the line stand on its own. This slender 6½ x 42 lonsdale uses an Ecuadorian Havana-seed wrapper over Cuban-seed Dominican binder and filler, hand-rolled at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. True to Casa Cuba tradition, every vitola in the line is named after a domino tile — the Doble Dos (“Double Two”) being the line’s slimmest, most elegant format.

Flavor Profile

Medium in strength, this cigar delivers a spicy, woody smoke that elegantly shifts between cloves, citrus, nutmeg, and baking spice, with cedar, caramel, and dried fruit rounding out a smooth, creamy finish. Reviewers consistently praise its flawless construction and note the thinner ring gauge lets the blend’s more nuanced flavors come through clearly — one longtime fan called it “easily the best of the Dobles.”

Why It’s Sought After

Casa Cuba remains a genuinely limited release, often exclusive to brick-and-mortar retailers rather than widely available online, and Cigar Aficionado has recognized the line multiple times, including a spot on its Top 25 Cigars of the Year. As one of the last blends Carlos Fuente Sr. personally created before his passing, this is a cigar collectors seek out for its real history as much as its flavor.
