Arturo Fuente Especiales Conquistadores
Conquistadores is the shortest and broadest Especiales format at five and a half inches with a 56 ring gauge. Cazadores adds half an inch and narrows to 50 ring, while Emperador extends to seven inches by 52 ring. Fuente describes Especiales as using an Ecuador Habano wrapper over aged Dominican tobacco. Fuente describes medium-length filler and a corresponding rolling technique. This construction description supplies a specific meaning for the family’s place beneath the Medium Filler collection. The manufacturer characterizes Especiales as medium-bodied, with cedar, oak, spice and sweetness. Those are Fuente’s family-level descriptors. Conquistadores combines that shared tobacco background with the most compact, broad proportion among the three named formats.
