As part of its 110th-anniversary celebrations, Arturo Fuente commissioned two different books to be written about the company and the Fuente family. Both books were written by Aaron Sigmond and published by Assouline, with the first, “Arturo Fuente: From Dream to Dynasty,” launching in late 2022. At last year’s 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show, Fuente previewed a new cigar sampler around one of the two books. This week, that collection began heading to stores.

The Arturo Fuente From Dream to Dynasty Collection contains Arturo Fuente: From Dream to Dynasty,” one of those two books, as well as 22 cigars that are made by Arturo Fuente. The cigars are packaged in two different 11-count boxes. All three items are placed in a large box, which depicts an Arturo Fuente.

Some of the cigars included are regular production items, others are harder-to-find cigars like the BBMF or Hemingway Between the Lines, while others like the OpusX 25 are nearly impossible to find. Interestingly, not all of the cigars are Arturo Fuente products. There are cigars from Ashton, J.C. Newman and Prometheus—all of which are made by Fuente.

The Arturo Fuente From Dream to Dynasty Collection has an MSRP of $2,200 before tax. There are 1,500 samplers produced, roughly 1,000 of them are heading to stores in the U.S.

For those that are wondering about the book, it’s the physically smaller and less expensive of the two books. The “Arturo Fuente: Since 1912” book was hand-bound and contained luxury finishes like individual cigar bands placed on pages in the book. It has an MSRP of $1,200 and is sold without cigars.
