Description
The Arturo Fuente Curly Head Deluxe Maduro is a 6 1/2 x 43 lonsdale under a dark Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper, filled and bound with Dominican tobacco. Think of it as the dark-wrapped twin of the Curly Head Deluxe, a slim everyday Fuente.
What It Tastes Like
In a January 2021 article, Cigar Aficionado said it rarely or never scores Curly Heads, and we could not find a score from the magazine for this cigar. JR Cigar describes nutty flavors with light spice; Neptune Cigar lists coffee, vanilla and sweetness. An older independent review is harsh: StogieReview gave it 67.5 of 100 in a 2006 post, liking early coffee but faulting a tight draw and a bitter finish near the band.
Who It’s For
- Broadleaf lovers who want a dark wrapper without a fat ring gauge.
- Lonsdale fans after a long, narrow smoke.
- Curly Head Deluxe regulars who want to compare a maduro leaf against the shade one.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Rolled by Arturo Fuente in the Dominican Republic
- Maduro broadleaf on a narrow 43 ring

Cons
- Cigar Aficionado seldom scores Curly Heads, and a 2006 blog review was negative

Where the Curly Head Fits
Fuente’s site shows the Curly Head and Curly Head Deluxe side by side at one 6 1/2 x 43 size, saying fans have relied on the Deluxe for decades. Fuente’s text describes the shade version; JR Cigar and Neptune Cigar list this one in Connecticut broadleaf or Connecticut maduro.
