The Rare Pink Vintage 1960's Series is a rare thing from Arturo Fuente, an all new line, blended by Carlos "Carlito" Fuente Jr. and released at the end of 2020. It nods to the decade Carlito grew up in, and it carries a cause: the pink packaging is the colour of breast cancer awareness, and the family donates from every box sold to breast cancer research. Every size is a perfecto, drawn from the shapes of the Hemingway line.

Tasting Notes
Smoking Time (Average): Happy Ending 60-70 Minutes, Work of Art 45-55 Minutes
Fruity leather and a spicy hay note on the cold draw set an old school tone. The smoke opens on cedar and cream, moving through citrus, pepper and dried fruit, with leather and earth holding the base. Medium bodied with a fuller edge in the larger sizes, and the tapered perfecto head concentrates the flavour as it goes.
Choosing Your Size
Happy Ending is the longer and more traditionally shaped of the two, a 5 1/2 inch perfecto that builds gradually and stays balanced across a full hour. Work of Art is shorter but far wider, swelling from a 46 head to a 60 ring belly, which packs more filler into less length and gives a richer, more concentrated smoke in less time.

Occasion & Pairing
A cigar worth setting time aside for. Pairs well with cognac, aged rum, red wine or a good coffee.
