Arturo Fuente Cigars

Arturo Fuente Cigars is definitely one of those cigar labels that could be enjoyed as a premium brand but sheds the price label shared common by these premium brands. Why, because Carlos Fuente and the Arturo Fuente Cigars have the most humble beginnings of all cigars manufacturers.

Perhaps you can say that Arturo Fuente Cigars is also the most enduring. Adversities had bogged them too numerous times. From fires and arsonists to national revolutions to embargoes, Arturo Fuente Cigars always just picked up the remains and rebuild from them. And just like any true conocedores, the Arturo Fuente family continues the tradition of carefully crafting their tobacco and ultimately their cigars to fullness and richness, a craft that has survived all the odds and adversity for over two centuries.

It all started in Ybor City, the Arturo Fuente brand in 1912, though Arturo Fuente Sr. did learn his craft as early as 1800 in Cuba. His son, Carlos Fuente Sr., who would later be the wheel upon which the business would roll, was then born into the fledging small cigar business his father has started. Everyday Carlos would return from school and practice the art of rolling cigar. That is to say, Carlos had an acquired skill of rolling cigars, unlike most cigar businessmen who never knew how the art was done relying instead on outsourcing their cigar products. Reaching maturity, Carlos had then succeeded into the business his father had started. Strings of bad luck soon followed, the factory was burned to the ground. After recovering from the fire, the business resumed only to be halted again when the US Trade Embargo was in place. Arturo Fuente Cigars then moved to Nicaragua where it then again faced the arsonists rebel Sandanistas who burned the factories to the ground. By this time, the Arturo Fuente Cigars became a somewhat mediocre production, supplying only to a limited scope. Relocating to the Honduras, the same fate happened again, the factory was destroyed by fire.

Perhaps it was a blessing that the Arturo family had finally landed in the Dominican Republic. Fairly tranquil, without the adversaries that had hampered their growth for the past 50 decades, Arturo Fuente Cigars started so humbly now, 7 dedicated employees who expressed their sentiment on the cigars they made. Most of these workers, mind you were Carlos’ kin. Exceptional quality was the outcome, and it quickly gained a foothold in the cigar market.
Carlos Fuente and his kin were really grateful for finally landing in Dominican Republic, because it gave Arturo Fuente Cigars one of the best plantations in the Caribbean: the Chateau de la Fuente. Most elite cigar critics have collectively decided that the silken Chateau de la Fuente wrapper leaves do hardly have a peer, even by the famed Cuban standard.
