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 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. However, these cigars were never released.
Don Arturo Gran AniverXario cigars have been aging in the Fuente aging room since 2001. These 8-year-old cigars will be 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
2009 is the 97th Anniversary of Arturo Fuente Cigar Company.
When is Fuente going to release a new cigar that isn’t $30+ a stick? Padron too. They both make good-to-great cigars but for such great manufacturers they haven’t put out much in the way of new smokes in the $5-12 range in awhile that I can recall.
Great cigar! Complex smoke. The sun grown is much better than the natural, in my opinion; but, neither is worth $50 a stick! It’s great to have one in the humidor to show of though
show off! Please edit!
My local B&M has these for $79 each. As much as I’d love to have one or two in my humidor, the price puts these well into the realm of absurdity.
These are going online for 60-69 per stick. Tell your B&M to get in line with all the other sellers!
great smoke it not your everyday stick.If can afford it buy it’s worth it
