Don Carlos No.2

Description

The Don Carlos No. 2 is a 6″ x 55 cigar wrapped in dark African Cameroon tobacco, rated full in strength. Its blend uses hand-selected vintage tobaccos aged at least ten years, delivering notes of vanilla, cream, and floral. Named after Don Carlos Fuente Sr., the Fuente family patriarch, it’s built at a larger ring gauge than the Don Carlos Belicoso and with a different wrapper than the Rosado/Habano-wrapped Edicion de Aniversario releases.

About Don Carlos No. 2

The Don Carlos No. 2 is a full-strength cigar built around dark African Cameroon tobacco and vintage-aged Dominican binder and filler tobaccos rested at least ten years before rolling. It’s part of Fuente’s classic Don Carlos line, named after and dedicated to Don Carlos Fuente Sr., a legendary cigar crafter and the family patriarch. Handmade in the Dominican Republic, its 6″ x 55 size is among the larger vitolas in the line.

Flavor & Smoking Profile

The Don Carlos No. 2 is described as full-bodied with delicious notes of vanilla, cream, and floral character. A first-third-to-final-third smoking progression, since only overall flavor notes have been published for this vitola.

What Makes Don Carlos No. 2 Different?

Within the classic Don Carlos line, the No. 2 is one of the larger-ring-gauge vitolas at 6″ x 55, built on the same Cameroon wrapper and ten-year-plus aged tobaccos as the smaller Don Carlos Belicoso. That’s a different wrapper and blend approach than the Rosado/Habano-wrapped Edicion de Aniversario releases or the dual-wrapper Don Carlos 90 Anos 2025, both separate sub-lines within the broader Don Carlos name.

Who Is This Cigar Best Suited For?

This suits smokers who want a full-strength, Cameroon-wrapped cigar at a larger 55 ring gauge with vintage-aged tobaccos. Smokers who want the same wrapper and blend in a smaller vitola should look at the Don Carlos Belicoso instead.
