Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Vintage 1960's Short Story Cigar – 4" x 42/49
The Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Vintage 1960's Short Story is an exceptionally distinctive and highly sought-after cigar from the legendary Fuente family. Combining beautiful craftsmanship, a unique Perfecto shape and a meaningful heritage, the Rare Pink Short Story is a wonderful example of the artistry and innovation for which Arturo Fuente is renowned.
Part of the exclusive Rare Pink Vintage 1960's Series, the collection was created by Carlos "Carlito" Fuente Jr. and inspired by the spirit of the 1960s, an era of creativity, individuality and cultural change. The range also supports an important cause, with a portion of proceeds from the cigars helping to fund breast cancer research, a cause particularly close to the Fuente family.
Measuring 4 inches in length with a variable 42–49 ring gauge, the Short Story is a compact yet beautifully proportioned Perfecto cigar. Its distinctive shape features a rounded head and tapered foot, requiring considerable skill from the cigar rollers and allowing the flavours to develop as the cigar progresses.
Handcrafted in the Dominican Republic, the Rare Pink Short Story features a rich Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, surrounding a carefully selected blend of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos. This combination produces a wonderfully balanced and complex smoking experience, offering plenty of character despite its relatively short length.
The cigar delivers an enjoyable medium-bodied flavour profile, with notes of cedar, toasted nuts, cocoa and gentle spice, complemented by creamy undertones and subtle natural sweetness. As the cigar develops, hints of roasted coffee and pepper add further complexity, creating a satisfying and rewarding smoke.
Visually, the Rare Pink Short Story is particularly impressive, featuring two beautifully detailed pink, red and gold cigar bands displaying the iconic Arturo Fuente crest and distinctive Rare Pink branding.
Presented in striking pink wooden boxes, complete with the signature Vintage 1960's Series ribbon, the Rare Pink collection is produced in limited quantities and remains highly desirable among cigar enthusiasts and collectors.
With its unusual shape, exceptional construction and rich flavour profile, the Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Short Story is an excellent choice for those looking to experience something special from one of the world's most celebrated cigar manufacturers.
