No rumor at all ... I got me a box of these when they first came to the US market.
The Arturo Fuente Reserva Superior were made for Europe only ... and are a rich, superior quality cigar.
Very similar to Don Carlos, these impeccably made cigars are well balanced and full of taste and flavor. Don Carlos has always been one of the all time great cigars and these Reserva Superiors have to be experienced, if you are into Don Carlos.
I found them to be not as 'harsh' as the DC, with a LOT more flavors coming through ... which to me, made it even more enjoyable.
