Description
The Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente Royal Salute Natural is a large, mild-to-medium-bodied cigar celebrated for its smooth, creamy flavor profile and consistent construction. As part of the Gran Reserva line, it’s a Presidente or Double Corona vitola measuring approximately 7 5/8” x 54, providing a long and relaxing smoking experience.
Flavor Profile and Composition
This cigar boasts a light-hued wrapper and mellow, complex flavors that develop throughout the smoke. The wrapper is typically a light-brown Connecticut Shade, although some sources mention the use of African Cameroon, particularly in specific regional blends like the Gran Reserva Natural. The binder and filler are made from premium, aged Dominican tobaccos sourced from the Fuente family’s private reserve.
Tasting Notes: The cigar offers creamy notes of wood, grass, and nuts, with subtle hints of lemon peel, minerals, and vanilla. Each cigar is wrapped in an aromatic cedar sleeve, which helps mellow the tobacco and adds a subtle cedar aroma to the overall profile.
