Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Rainforest Delight cigars

Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Rainforest Delight Slim Panatela

Why the name "Rainforest Delight"? »Delight« is of course self-explanatory, after all it's about a fuente.
»Rainforest« refers to the cover sheet, a genuine Cameroon.
The Meerapfel family has been successfully cultivating beautiful wrappers under very adverse conditions since the mid-1990s. Up to 5,000 employees tend and care for the plants that grow and thrive on around 3,000 fields. Since many of these fields are found in the heart of the rainforest, it has been and still is very difficult and difficult to transport equipment and supplies to remote areas with little or no infrastructure without harming nature. However, this was Rick Meerapfel's greatest ambition from the start. It is only thanks to his perseverance that tobacco cultivation and nature in Cameroon can coexist in harmony and that the best wrapper leaves in the world today come from Cameroon.
Wrappers from Cameroon are known for their tenderness. They don't lend themselves to aggressive fermentation, it's their elegance that makes many cigar makers rave. The wrappers are very aromatic without being overly intense, they are perfectly balanced and deliver notes of cinnamon, baking spices, cocoa and nuts and often come with a very pleasant balance of sweetness and pepper.
For these reasons, the Fuente family has in the past built some of their flagships around the wonderful wrapper leaves from Cameroon. There are the »Don Carlos«, the »8-5-8« and the legendary »Hemingway«.
The »Rainforest Delight« comes to us in an elegant Slim Panatela format. With a ring gauge of 33, it leaves room for the Cameroon wrapper to shine. The filler and the binder from the Dominican Republic are perfectly put together and allow the extraordinary sweetness of the wrapper to take precedence. For years, the Meerapfel family collected leaves that weren't big enough to cover a »Don Carlos«. All the wrappers used have therefore matured over many years. And you can taste that. Despite the small ring gauge, the »Rainforest« does not develop any sharpness and can be smoked in a relaxed manner until you almost burn your lips. The moderate strength makes this wonderful Slim Panatela a pleasure for the whole day.
