At the 2023 PCA trade show, Arturo Fuente officially released the Don Carlos Eye of the Bull. Arturo Fuente teased this cigar earlier at the 2022 PCA trade show, but it wasn’t available until now. Because of its limited run and the high demand, Arturo Fuente made this an exclusive for the PCA trade show.
