Description
The Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba Doble Dos is a long, narrow 42-ring lonsdale finished in an Ecuadorian Havana wrapper over Cuban-seed binder and filler grown in the Dominican Republic. Fuente’s chart lists it at 6 3/4 inches, the thinnest gauge in the Casa Cuba family.
What It Tastes Like
Cigar Aficionado has rated this size three times, calling it medium-full each time. Its October 2021 panel gave it 90 points for a peppery start that settled into an oaky, rum-barrel character. The August 2023 review scored it 88, citing leather, dark toast and spice with a floral, faintly mineral finish. In August 2026 it earned 89 for clean cherry, almond and marzipan, though some tasters noticed a slight metallic edge. halfwheel’s undated review found maple-like sweetness, cedar, cinnamon and milk chocolate.
Who It’s For
- Lonsdale lovers who want length on a narrow ring.
