Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Robusto - Pictures

[Jbailey]

This is from the Don Carlos line from Fuente. Which is a little stronger IMHO when compared to the Hemingway line. Then you have the God of Fire which is made in a Don Carlos blend and a Carlito blend. Two different smokes. I got a few GoF's lying around never tried one but I heard they are a stronger smoke.

I have a few of both the GOF Don Carlos & Carlito, but haven't smoked either. I think the Carlito is a little spicier, but don't know for a fact. This review is from the "Don Carlos Line", but not the God of Fire, Correct?

Correct.
If you'll smoke A Don Carlos and smoke those GOF's and do a review of the three, I bet I know a brother who can hook you up with a couple Don Carlos'. I'm all out of GOF's though, I think.
To me, the Don Carlos line is more solid throughout the stick.
GOF's start lousy, get good, go goofy, then straighten out. They finish up real strong.
Don Carlos' are just a slow build and stay consistant throughout.
That's why I like them better. I wisgh they had a bit more body, but what's there is awesome.
I've had a few GOF poop surprises, too, where they are really awful for a time till they get good.
GOF's are one of those "money sticks" that I personally don't feel are worth the premium, but I do think everyone should try them.
