Don Arturo Gran AniverXario
Carlito Fuente has created a new cigar, Don Arturo Gran AniverXario, in a tribute to his grandfather, Arturo Fuente.
These cigars are made with the legendary wrapper leaves
from
Chateau de la Fuente, the birthplace of a dream. Carlito
Fuente made Don Arturo Gran AniverXario cigars in 2001 to celebrate the 100th
Anniversary of Arturo Fuente Cigar Company, which
was founded by his grandfather in 1912. He planned to
release Don Arturo Gran AniverXario cigars every year, starting in 2002, to
celebrate the 100th anniversary in 2012. However, these cigars were not released as intended in 2002.
Don Arturo Gran AniverXario cigars have been aging in the
Fuente
aging room since 2001. These 7-year-old cigars will be
finally shipped to
retail tobacconists worldwide this fall to commemorate the
release of his
father's biography:
The Fuente Story: Passion behind the Tradition and
Legacy
2008 is the 96th Anniversary of Arturo Fuente Cigar
Company, and
each Fuente Story humidor will come with 96 Don Arturo
Gran
AniverXario.
