Description
The Arturo Fuente Casa Fuente Double Robusto is a 5 3/4 x 52 cigar with a Cameroon wrapper over Dominican binder and filler. It belongs to Casa Fuente, the house line Arturo Fuente makes for the Casa Fuente lounge in Las Vegas, and it joined that line in late 2006.
What It Tastes Like
halfwheel’s Charlie Minato scored it 89 in an undated review. He found the opening third the boldest, moving from milk chocolate and a sharp, wasabi-style pepper into sweet cedar and cocoa. The pepper backed off in the middle, leaving cocoa, nuts, earth and a light floral side. The last third showed typical Cameroon character: sweet barnyard, grassy notes and cocoa, while overall flavor intensity dipped slightly to medium-full.
Who It’s For
- Cameroon wrapper fans who like spice paired with cocoa sweetness.
- Visitors who missed the Las Vegas lounge and want to try its house cigar.
- Anyone planning a long sit-down — halfwheel’s sample lasted nearly two hours.

About Casa Fuente
Casa Fuente opened at the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace in 2005, and its own cigar line launched with the store. In October 2021, Cigar Aficionado reported that Fuente was shipping the line to retail shops in place of its delayed Rare Pink cigars; before then it had been sold almost only at the Las Vegas store.
