Description
The Arturo Fuente Cubanitos Maduro is a pencil-thin 32-ring smoke that wraps Dominican tobacco in a dark maduro leaf of Connecticut broadleaf. Fuente’s 2019 catalog lists Cubanitos at 4 1/2 inches, as does Neptune Cigar; JR Cigar and Cigar Place say 4 1/4. We sell it as a 10-cigar tin.
What It Tastes Like
We found no Cigar Aficionado score for this little maduro, so retailer descriptions are the best guide. JR Cigar lists espresso, chocolate, earth and black pepper at medium strength. Neptune Cigar, also calling it medium, describes sweet, creamy tobacco with a touch of spice. Cigar Place puts it a notch milder.
Who It’s For
- Coffee-break smokers who want a maduro Fuente that is done in well under half an hour.
- Slim-cigar fans: 32 ring is far narrower than a robusto.
- Anyone who keeps a tin in a bag, glovebox or golf cart.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Ten cigars in one tin
- Same broadleaf leaf type as the Rothschild Maduro
- Medium strength, per JR and Neptune
Cons
- No Cigar Aficionado score that we could find
- Listed length varies: 4 1/4 or 4 1/2 inches
- Over too fast for a long sit-down session
About the Cubanitos
Fuente’s catalogs disagree on where Cubanitos belongs: the 2019 edition places it in the Gran Reserva table, the 2021 edition among medium-filler cigars. Cigars International sells Cubanitos on its Gran Reserva page.
Pairing and Storage
Espresso notes and medium body point to coffee or a short bourbon; see our pairing guide. Once the tin is open, move leftover Cubanitos into a humidor (how to store cigars).
