Arturo Fuente

Arturo Fuente cigars are crafted using a variety of premium tobaccos. The filler and binder tobaccos are primarily grown in the Dominican Republic, specifically in the fertile Cibao Valley, known for its rich soil and ideal climate. The wrappers can vary, including Connecticut Shade (USA), Cuban-seed grown in Ecuador, and the prized Fuente-grown wrappers from their estate in the Dominican Republic. Each region’s unique conditions impart distinct characteristics, such as the rich, smooth flavors from Dominican tobaccos and the creamy, mild qualities of Connecticut Shade wrappers.

Arturo Fuente cigars offer a rich, balanced flavor profile. Smokers often note a combination of earthy, cedar, and spice notes, complemented by hints of coffee, cocoa, and leather. The aged tobaccos provide a smooth, creamy smoke with a touch of sweetness. The complexity and refinement of the flavors make for a pleasurable smoking experience, appealing to both novice and experienced cigar enthusiasts. Let us know your tasting notes on these gems.

First, most non-Cuban cigars these days such as Arturo Fuente cigars, are individually protected with a clear cello-wrapper to ensure their quality, then placed inside a sturdy cigar box, which is itself also cello-wrapped. When shipping a full cigar box, we take additional precautions by wrapping the box itself for added protection then securely packing it in a robust cardboard shipping carton. The shipping box is then sealed with a heavy application of packing tape to prevent any damage during transit. Loose cigars, 5 packs, and our cigar samplers are carefully placed in airtight ziplock bags, accompanied by a Boveda HumiPak to maintain ideal humidity levels during shipment. The Boveda packs are effective for weeks, ensuring that your Fuente cigars arrive at your door fresh and in perfect condition. We’ve been doing this for a long time. With thousands of shipments sent to every corner of the world each year, we rarely encounter issues with damage or quality. However, should such a situation arise, we offer a straightforward solution – by gladly re-shipping your order at no additional cost to you. As always, we aim to provide a hassle-free buying experience with any issue solved quickly and efficiently – no problem, no debates, no complications.
