On Monday afternoon, Casa Fuente in Las Vegas announced the launch of a new online store that will be selling Casa Fuente logoed accessories and clothing, but likely to the disappointment of many cigar smokers, none of their exclusive cigars.

The store sent out the following Tweet heralding the news:

The highlights of the store include apparel for both men and women as well as the signature Casa Fuente ashtray and mojito glass, both of which have become fairly iconic since the store opened in 2005. Located in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, it has become a regular destination for cigar smokers from around the world when they visit Las Vegas as it is also home to the Casa Fuente house cigar as well as numerous other Arturo Fuente rare cigars. Unfortunately, though, those cigars are still only available for purchase at Casa Fuente.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
