What to Know About Rare Pink Cigars

Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Cigars are some of the most coveted and acclaimed cigars on the market today. The limited-edition release has generated numerous 90+ ratings and captivated established smokers and new fans alike. As their name suggests, Rare Pink Cigars are indeed rare — and we’ll explain why they’re so famous within the cigar industry here.

The Story Behind Rare Pink Cigars

Rare Pink was first introduced in 2020. At the time, Carlos Fuente Jr. said, “It’s a gift for my daughter, and my mother, and my sister, and all the women in my life.” The project is particularly dear to Liana Fuente (Carlos Fuente Jr.’s daughter). The pink branding isn’t just for show, though; a portion of the proceeds from Rare Pink sales goes toward funding breast cancer research — a cause close to the hearts of the Fuente family.

Rare Pink Cigar Line & Blends

Since Fuente initially released Rare Pink in 2020, the company has expanded the line several times with different sizes. The kicker? All sizes in the Rare Pink series are figurados — meaning they aren’t cylindrically shaped. (However, all Rare Pink cigars share the same blend and a similar band presentation.) Notable releases include:

• Queen of Hearts 4 ⅛ X 60

• Short Story 4 X 49

• Work of Art 4 ⅞ X 60

• Sophisticated Hooker 7 ¼ X 53

• Happy Ending 5 ½ X 53

Both Sophisticated Hooker and Happy Ending have earned a place on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of the Year List.

Pink Cigar Flavor Profile & Smoking Experience

As mentioned above, each Arturo Fuente Rare Pink release has the same blend: an Ecuadorian wrapper, a Dominican binder, and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. They are all produced in the Dominican Republic. Tasting notes include honey, sweetness, wood, richness, and a complex yet balanced profile. They have earned a sterling reputation for their construction, performance, and unique but classic smoking experience.

Why Are Rare Pink Cigars So Coveted?

Rare Pink Cigars have become some of the most sought-after cigars in the industry. Why? There are a few reasons. 

1. The cigars are excellent. They have earned high rankings from publications like Cigar Aficionado and rave reviews from fans. 

2. Rare Pink Cigars are limited-production, meaning they’re hard to find. 

3. The charitable mission behind the cigars resonates with many cigar fans.

Rare Pink Cigars Collectibility & Market Value

Some people look at cigars as an investment. And while it’s theoretically possible to purchase a cigar that grows in value over time, we don’t recommend buying cigars with the purpose of selling them later. 

However, it’s worth noting that because of Rare Pink’s limited release schedule and range of collectible sizes, the line has become treasured by serious aficionados. If you have a chance to buy a Rare Pink cigar, do so while you have the opportunity because they sell out quickly. 

Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Cigars occupy a highly respected place in the cigar community because of their exceptional performance and the philanthropic mission behind them.
