The foot is dominated by cedar, almost as if the cigar is wrapped in a cedar sleeve, with some more of the raisin flavor. Aroma off the wrapper has raisins on top of nuttiness and mild barnyard, right around medium-full. It’s actually a far cry from most cigars, one of the prettier appearances you’ll ever find on a cigar. The wrapper on the Don Carlos The Man is bright and relatively consistent, a far cry from the typical appearance of a regular Don Carlos.

The company opted to sell 800 of the humidors, priced at $550 each. However, at this year’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, the company had a box on display alongside a special humidor made in honor of the late Carlos Fuente Sr. Plenty of Fuente cigars have been released at events like this only to never actually make it to distribution, so it would have been no surprise if the cigars were never sold. Last year, Fuente brought a small amount of a special release of the Don Carlos entitled “The Man.” It was presented in a 5 1/4 x 50 robusto shape with a special Don Carlos main band-the same as the Edición de Aniversario release-and a secondary band reading The Man.

Due to American legislations, the filming was actually done in a cigar factory set in Spain. In Die Another Day (2002), Bond visits a cigar factory in “Cuba” to gather intelligence. The World Is Not Enough (1999) opens with Bond being offered a Romeo y Julieta Churchill in a Bilbao bank. Because of this, cigars are featured prominently in the Brosnan Bond films. Pierce Brosnan’s run as bond lasted from 1995 to 2002, coinciding with the tail end of the Cigar Boom in the early 1990’s.
