Arturo Fuente cigars are more than just the finest smoking enjoyment a cigar lover can experience, it represents four generations of a cigar family tradition, that include love, pride, and personal sacrifices. Every Arturo Fuente cigar carries the personal family touch that makes it one of the world’s finest.

Only the highest quality vintage tobaccos and hand workmanship go into Arturo Fuente cigars, making them a blend of art and craftsmanship. Each leaf is personally selected from a private family reserve set aside exclusively for the making of these premium cigars. Blended with the finest Arturo Fuente Tobaccos internationally recognized for their superiority, the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva cigar is then skillfully rolled with African Cameroon, Connecticut Shade or the most recent addition to the Gran Reserva line, Ecuadorian Sun Grown, these wrapper tobaccos are the most expensive and sought after wrapper tobacco in the world.

The honor of making the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva is given only to the most gifted cigar makers, those with the rare skills needed to create this uniquely blended cigar. Taking absolutely no short cuts, every critical step is done completely by hand, to ensure a finished cigar without parallel.

Arturo Fuente cigars are then aged in Spanish cedar vaults to a peak of perfection to create a marriage of the blends producing an excellent individualistic heavyweight cigar to be counted among the worlds finest.

Arturo Fuente Don Carlos
The Fuente cigar family took an extraordinary long period of time to determine which of their rare vintage tobaccos should be blended to produce the now internationally famed Don Carlos cigars.

In every way possible, Carlos Fuente Sr. strived to attain the ultimate in rich flavor, flawless wrapper color and superior construction in each and every Don Carlos cigar. Today, cigar aficionados from all over the world, as well as thousands of serious American cigar smokers have acknowledged the Don Carlos cigar is indeed outstanding and worthy of the title, Pride of the Fuente Family.

Arturo Fuente Hemingway
Carlos Fuente Jr. describes the Arturo Fuente Hemingway cigar line:
“My grandfather always made Cuban Perfecto Cigars. Perfecto cigars were very, very, popular during the 1920’s 30’s and 40’s. I remember when I was growing up in the factory, we made a lot of cigars that were Perfecto shaped. We made Perfectos by hand and as time went by there were less and less cigar makers rolling Perfectos, because these cigar makers were older, they retired, they passed away. It took a real master to make a true Cuban Perfecto cigar. The Perfectos my grandfather used to make were called Arturo Fuente Fancy Tales.

Ever since I was a child I was always fascinated with that shape, the old world, and the really difficult art of the craft that the Cuban Perfecto cigar represents. So, when we first came here to the Dominican Republic in 1980, I thought we should start making those cigar shapes again. There was no one making Perfecto shapes. My father was the only one that knew how to make those shaped cigars because he had been taught by my grandfather. He told me on one of the trips back to Ybor City he was going to try to find some of the old molds, but he didn’t know where they were. He was sure he had kept them around, but he didn’t know where, It was important to find the original molds because no one could make those molds, the gentleman that had made them for us, passed away. He never shared the secret of making the perfecto molds, he didn’t pass it on and as a matter of fact, nobody wanted to make those cigars. There was no demand for that cigar. It was something that was lost. That’s why it was important that we find the original molds and as fate would have it, my father found them in our Ybor City cigar factory. He then started practicing making the Cuban Perfecto shape. At first he just made a few for himself, working on the blend and so forth. After he was satisfied with the blend and the shape my father taught our master roller to make it, to make it for him. We used to make, maybe twenty cigars a day just for ourselves to smoke and enjoy.

That first cigar is what is known today as the Hemingway Signature cigar 6 x 47. The Hemingway Signature cigar was introduced in 1983 and that was the only shape available until around 1988 when we introduced the Hemingway Classic and the Hemingway Masterpiece. About that same time my father wanted to develop something totally different, unseen in cigars. So we started fooling around with a very short cigar, which was only for our own personal use. That cigar became the Hemingway Short Story.

Today we make all these fine cigars and also a few very limited shapes such as the Hemingway Work of Art, the Hemingway Best Seller, the Hemingway Untold Story and the Hemingway Between the Lines and others. These premium Dominican cigars are extremely difficult to make so our production is very small. Something special for our fellow cigar aficionados to enjoy.

The Hemingway cigars have a very warm place in my heart and in my memories. It is very pleasing for me to remember watching these cigars being made by my grandfather, and to think that these cigars are now made in our cigar factory in the Dominican Republic. That is very fulfilling. I hope that you enjoy Arturo Fuente Hemingway cigars and what they mean to myself and our family.”
– Carlos Fuente Jr.

      For the money this is probably my favorite cigar. Mild but still has some nice flavor, perfect draw, perfect burn. It wont blow you away with the taste but still a great cigar.

    2. Enrique

      A customer in Dominican Republic sent me a box of 10 of these <i>Arturo Fuente cigars</i>. The presentation and the packing was great. It comes in a very nice wooden box which I still Carry with me everywhere I go and with the Humidity Pack. The cigar itself is very good although I prefer Cuban cigars this smoke has a perfect even burn a very smooth mild taste and it is very consistent from the start to the end. The taste has nice hints of fruit. For me I think all Arturo Fuente Cigars are very very good and their prices are also quite reasonable.

      Way back, this was my first cigar, and it got me hooked. This Fuente is a nice mild cigar with lots of flavor and some pepper on the lips. I have moved to medium bodied stuff now, but I like to go back to these 858s from time to time.
