Opus X for CF Charitable Foundation
In 2004, 22 Fuente Fuente OpusX cigars in various sizes were released in a special commemorative box in order to raise fund for Cigar Family Charitable Foundation. This special box has been known as Opus22 to cigar connoisseurs all over the world.
Each cigar is packaged in a special coffin box that is imprinted with the name of the cigar and the year of release. A total of 500 boxes are shipped to retail tobacconists in the month of November every year.
2008 is the fifth anniversary of Opus22 and Carlito Fuente has created unforgettable new shapes and sizes:
FFOX El Scorpion
FFOX El Scorpion Maduro
FFOX LFMF
FFOX Love Story
FFOX Princessa D
FFOX Taurus the Bull
In 2001, the Fuente and Newman families, longtime business partners in the cigar industry, came together with the vision of improving children's lives in the Bonao region of the Dominican Republic. What began as a simple dream of adding a wing onto the local elementary school has evolved into Cigar Family Charitable Foundation's 23-acre complex that includes: primary and high schools; health center; sports and recreation facilities; and an organic farming area. Today, the Complex serves well over 5,000 families and has achieved tremendous results.
Prometheus International, Inc. and God of Fire, Inc., which are the official distributor of Opus22, have raised over $950,000 for Cigar Family Charitable Foundation since 2000.
Because the Fuente and Newman families pay all administrative expenses such as accounting and legal, 100% of the donations benefit the children and families served by Cigar Family Charitable Foundation (www.cf-cf.org).
