Description
The Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Signature Holiday Gift Pack is a pink presentation box holding five Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Signature cigars, the medium-full 6.0 x 46 perfecto from the Rare Pink Vintage 1960's Series. Each cigar carries an Ecuadorian wrapper over a Dominican binder and a filler of Dominican and Nicaraguan tobacco, and is made at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia in the Dominican Republic. The gift pack is the same cigar sold on our Rare Pink VS Signature page, in packaging made for giving.
Wrapper and Blend
The wrapper is an Ecuadorian leaf sourced from Oliva Tobacco Co., a milk-chocolate brown, lightly oily leaf that gives the blend a sweeter, spicier character than the Cameroon wrapper on the Hemingway series it is modeled on. Under it sits a Dominican binder and a filler blend of Dominican tobacco together with Nicaraguan leaf grown on the Fuente family's own farms in Estelí. The cigar is rolled at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia in Santiago, Dominican Republic. Some retailers list the binder as Nicaraguan; Fuente's own release information and Cigar Aficionado both list it as Dominican, which is what we follow here.
Format and Size
At 6 inches by a 46 ring gauge (0.72 inches across), the Signature is the longest and slimmest of the five Rare Pink sizes we carry, a classic corona-length perfecto with a tapered head and foot. The narrower ring puts the Ecuadorian wrapper forward in the blend and gives the longest, most gradual development in the line. Expect 60 to 75 minutes. The 4 x 42/49 Short Story is the same blend in half the time; the 4.88 x 46/60 Work of Art is shorter but much thicker.
Strength and Flavor Profile
The Signature is the most refined expression of the Rare Pink blend. It opens with cedar and white pepper, picks up toasted almond and a creamy texture through the second third, and closes on baking spice, cocoa and a dried-fruit sweetness. It reaches medium-full body by the final third while staying smooth, which makes it the easiest size in the line to recommend to a Hemingway Classic smoker.
Flavor notes: Cedar, white pepper, toasted almond, cream, baking spice, cocoa, dried fruit.
Line History and Production
Rare Pink is the Fuente family's breast cancer awareness project. Liana Fuente, daughter of Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr., led the effort, and the full name of the line, Rare Pink Vintage 1960's Series, refers to the decade that shaped her father's early life. The first four sizes (Short Story, Signature, Work of Art and Happy Ending) began shipping in December 2020; the Queen of Hearts and the 7.25 x 53 Sophisticated Hooker followed in 2022. Every size is a perfecto, the cigars wear a pink version of Fuente's Gran Reserva band, and the boxes are a bright, unmistakable pink. Arturo Fuente makes a donation from every box sold to breast cancer research, and it ships the cigars to retailers once a year, timed to October and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Rare Pink is not a numbered limited edition, but like Añejo and OpusX it is allocated: only a set amount goes out each year, and it sells through quickly.
Who the Gift Pack Is For
The five-count pack is the right size for a holiday or Breast Cancer Awareness Month gift, a thank-you, or a first box for someone trying Rare Pink before committing to a full box of 25. The Signature size suits smokers who like a longer, slimmer perfecto and want the most wrapper-forward version of the Rare Pink blend. Coffee pairings: Medium roast Colombian, Cappuccino, Flat white, Pour-over Ethiopian, Café au lait. Spirit pairings: Bourbon, Cognac, Aged rum, Speyside Scotch, Irish whiskey. The box is not a humidor; if the cigars will not be smoked within a few weeks, move them to a humidor at 65 to 69 percent humidity.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many cigars are in the Holiday Gift Pack?
Five. All five are the Rare Pink Signature, 6.0 x 46; the pack is not a mixed sampler.
Is this the same cigar as the Rare Pink VS Signature?
Yes. Same blend, same size, same factory. The difference is the five-count pink gift box instead of the standard box of 25, a single or a pack of 5.
Where is it made?
At Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
Is Rare Pink a limited edition?
Not a numbered one, but it is allocated: Fuente ships a set amount to retailers once a year around October, and the gift packs are the first thing to sell through. When they are out of stock, the next batch is generally the following October.
