Arturo Fuente

Joining the Hemingway Natural, Maduro and Sungrown lines is a new Sungrown Oscuro variant. While not a TAA exclusive, the new Hemingway Sungrown Oscuro is only available, for now, at TAA stores.

The humidor is named and modeled after a building that sits on Arturo Fuente’s sprawling Chateau de la Fuente farm in the Dominican Republic. Each humidor comes with the Hemingway OpusX, a 7 x 48 perfecto that is exclusive to this humidor.

In April 2022, Brooks Whittington and Charlie Minato traveled to Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia, the collection of buildings located in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, that make up “the Arturo Fuente factory.”

Of the many Arturo Fuente buildings in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, one of them stands out as looking very different. Welcome to La Gran Fábrica de Cajas, the big box factory.

An old adage says that from start to finish, 300 hands will touch any one cigar. At Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia, the final pairs of hands are in the packaging area.

Part Three of our look at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia takes us to the quietest part of the factory: aging rooms. Like with Fuente’s rolling rooms, it’s not simply one giant room. Instead, there are dozens of bovedas. No, not that “Boveda.”

This is part of a five-part series documenting Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia, the main factory of Arturo Fuente. Post #2 focuses on the most glamorous part of the cigarmaking process: bunching and rolling. Also, there’s a fountain.

This is part of a five-part series documenting Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia, the main factory of Arturo Fuente. Post #1 focuses on the final parts of pre-industry, the last days before raw tobacco leaves are bunched and rolled into cigars.

Arturo Fuente From Dream to Dynasty Collection contains “Arturo Fuente: From Dream to Dynasty,” a coffee table book, and 22 cigars, many of which are hard-to-find offerings from Arturo Fuente and others.

As we near the 30th anniversary of Fuente Fuente OpusX, you might finally be able to smoke the 25th Anniversary cigar.

No word on pricing, production numbers or even blend. That said, the cigars have been rolled and the packaging is done. Expect these in November.
