Description

Humble, resilient, and strong: the Arturo Fuente family is all of that and more. Their saga begins with Don Arturo Fuente pursuing the American dream using his treasured Cuban artisan skills, and then continues with his son, Don Carlos Fuente Sr., grandson Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr., and his sister, Don Arturo’s granddaughter, Cynthia Fuente. Waiting in the wings: a promising fourth generation.

The pleasure of smoking, and the comfort, solace, and camaraderie that a great cigar provides, has been a source of enjoyment for centuries. This book tells the story of the true Fuente legacy, from the early years of Fuente to the creation of the world-famous Fuente Fuente OpusX, the first commercially viable puro entirely grown and rolled in the Dominican Republic, and its extraordinary contribution to the evolution of modern cigars.

Lushly illustrated with exclusive photographs by Jan Spanier, Arturo Fuente: Since 1912 is written by author and cigar master Aaron Sigmond. It celebrates the achievements of the last three generations of the Fuente family, their cigars, and how their family name and the OpusX brand have become synonymous with epicurean global luxury. Co-authored by actor and director Andy Garcia and Ciro Cascella, executive president of Tabacalera A. Fuente, this volume is a tribute to the cigar as a timeless passion and to the Fuente family.
