Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba Doble Cuatro
The Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba Doble Cuatro is one of the most compact and vibrant models in the series. As Carlos Fuente Sr.'s final creation, the Doble Cuatro uses the classic Corona Gorda size. This size has always been considered the "perfect balance of flavors" in the cigar world, as it perfectly balances the rich aroma of the wrapper with the complex depth of the filler. The Doble Cuatro is like a mirror, reflecting the Fuente family's profound understanding of the Dominican terroir and their boundless nostalgia for Cuba's golden age, now lost to time.

Flavor Ladder
Initial notes: Due to its relatively short and stout shape, the Doble Cuatro has a remarkable burst of flavor. Upon lighting, it releases a rich blend of cream, honey, and toasted cedarwood aromas. Thanks to the excellent fermentation of the Habanos wrapper, the first puff offers a delightful, vintage sweetness. Mid-range: The flavor evolves to a medium-to-rich profile, showcasing a remarkably balanced blend of cinnamon, white pepper, and a hint of cashew. The 54 ring gauge provides a very comfortable draw and abundant vapor production, allowing complex oiliness to unfold layer by layer on the palate. Finish: The final notes reveal the distinctive leather and coffee bean aftertaste characteristic of Fuente premium cigars. Even near the end, the flavor remains mellow and pure, with a lingering aftertaste reminiscent of aged red wine—a subtle blend of acidity and sweetness—and an exceptionally stable structure.
Recommendation reason
- The perfect balance: The Doble Cuatro is designed to allow cigar aficionados to experience the fullest flavor profile in a relatively short time (approximately 45-60 minutes). It is one of the most flavor-concentrated models in the series.
- The essence of master blending: When developing Casa Cuba, Mr. Fuente sought a balance that was "refreshing without being spicy or pungent." Doble Cuatro perfectly embodies this blending philosophy, serving as a bridge between beginners and seasoned connoisseurs for everyday enjoyment.
- A legacy of vintage style: From the burgundy packaging to the historic cigar band, every Doble Cuatro is a tribute to the family's illustrious history. In today's trend towards extra-large ring gauge cigars, this cigar retains its rare refinement and aristocratic air.
Arturo Fuente Casa Cuba Doble Cuatro is a brief yet brilliant sensual farewell, capturing with its full grandeur the most poignant tobacco memories of "Old Havana."
