Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva® cigars are then skillfully rolled with African Cameroon, Connecticut shade or Ecuadorian sungrown wrappers. Taking absolutely no shortcuts, every step of the cigar making process is done completely by hand, to ensure a finished cigar without parallel.

When I was growing up we made perfectos by hand, but as time went by there were fewer and fewer cigar makers rolling perfectos. As the cigar makers grew older, they retired, they passed away. It took a real master to make a true Perfecto cigar.“ “As a child I was fascinated with that shape and the really difficult art of the craft that the Perfecto cigar represents. So when we first came to the Dominican Republic in 1980, I thought we should start making those shapes again. At that time nobody was making shaped cigars. I wanted to bring back that old world style, just to keep the art, the tradition, the craft, alive.“ “Today we make an entire line of Perfecto cigars. These cigars are something special for our fellow cigar smokers to enjoy.“ “Hemingway cigars have a very warm place in my heart and in my memories. It is very pleasing for me to remember watching these shaped cigars being made by my grandfather, and to think that these cigars are now made in our factory in the Dominican Republic, that is very fulfilling. I hope that you enjoy the Hemingway cigars and what they mean to our family.” 23 Best Seller 24 Classic Untold Story Masterpiece Hemingway® The most famous series of figurados in the world Arturo Fuente Hemingway ® Length (Inches) Ring Gauge Length (mm) Diameter Cigars Per Box 4 1/2 43/55 114 17 / 22 25 7 46 178 18 25 Untold Story 7 5/8 54 194 21 25 Masterpiece 9 52 229 20 10 Signature 6 46 152 18 25 Short Story 4 42 / 49 102 17 / 19 25 Work of Art 4 7/8 46 / 60 124 18 / 24 25 Between the Lines 4 1/2 45 / 54 114 18 / 21 25 Best Seller Classic Key: Cigar actual size when 1 cm 1 inch Short Story Work of Art Signature The Hemingway’s Perfecto shape is, without question, one of the most challenging cigars to make.

Between the Lines 25 “ It’s amazing that, after so many premium brands and sub-brands and lines, we could still continue to make so many different flavors that are all Fuente. It just proves again that my father, who is my hero, is the greatest. If I’ve accomplished anything in this life, it’s because my father has taught me.

His intent was to recreate the experience and flavor of Cuban cigars he rolled and enjoyed in his youth. Carlos Sr. selected an Ecuador Havana wrapper tobacco and chose a mix of Cuban-seed Dominican long filler and binder, and blended them in the same manner he used blending Cuban tobacco many years ago. 26 A tribute to the early days of cigar making The Castillo de los Tres Reyes del Morro is the best-known castle fortress in Cuba and was built to guard the Bay of Havana. Construction began in 1589 and was completed in 1660. Key: Cigar actual size when 1 cm 1 inch Released in four sizes, Casa Cuba cigars are named after Cuban dominoes and elegantly packaged with vintage flair. 27 28 In September of 1998, Hurricane Georges tore through the Carribbean Sea causing widespread destruction throughout the region, including the famous Chateau de la Fuente farm in the Dominican Republic, where the wrapper leaf for the acclaimed Fuente Fuente OpusX cigar is grown and harvested. Two years later the storm’s destruction resulted in a shortage of Fuente Fuente OpusX wrapper tobacco. Rather than halting production, Carlos Fuente Jr. ordered the use of a different wrapper, an aged Connecticut broadleaf. Once again, the Fuente family forged triumph from tragedy, and the Arturo Fuente Añejo cigar was born. One of the world’s most rare cigars, the Añejo cigar is rolled with the very best Dominican filler and binder from Chateau de la Fuente, then a 5-year-old Connecticut maduro wrapper aged in a Cognac barrel is added. This blend yields a rich, spicy, slightly sweet smoke and the unique aging process leaves a distinct finish. Typically only available at Father’s Day and Christmas, this cigar is one of the most exclusive cigars in the world today. 29 No. 50 30 No. 46 No. 55 No. 60 No. 49 Arturo Fuente Añejo® Length (Inches) Ring Gauge Length (mm) Diameter (mm) Cigars Per Box No. 50 5 1/4 50 133 20 25 No. 46 5 5/8 46 143 18 25 No. 55 6 55 152 22 25 No. 60 6 1/4 49 156 19 25 No. 49 7 5/8 49 194 19 25 No. 48 7 48 178 19 25 No. 888 6 3/4 43 168 17 24 No. 77 Shark 5 7/8 50 / 64 149 20 / 25 20 Key: Cigar actual size when 1 cm 1 inch Rich maduro wrapper leaves aged in Cognac barrels make the Arturo Fuente Añejo cigar a unique smoke.

Made with wrappers from Chateau de la Fuente, this line of cigars uses a Habano seed rather than the Corojo seed variety used to make the renown Fuente Fuente OpusX. Destino al Siglo will delight those who prefer a full-flavor, robust smoke. This cigar which is so exquisite, could only be contained in the finest packaging, from the beautifully detailed cigar band to the Spanish cedar lift-out trays, the packaging is ornate and designed so that is looks like a book. A century of destiny that marks a major milestone in the Fuente family story. Carlos Fuente, Jr., the cigars creator, remarks that the cigar represents the Fuente family story, the heritage, the love for the family and friends, the love for our supporters, our neighbors, it represents everybody. “That’s what I tried to compose,” says Carlos. “That’s why even the sizes are Siglo de Amistad (Century of Friendship), Siglo de Passion (Century of Passion), Siglo de Amor (Century of Love), and Siglo de Familia (Century of Family). It’s a special cigar with a special meaning. There are a lot of symbols and messages all over the label. Even the color is significant – why blue? Because my grandfather’s original label, the one that I remember when I was a little boy, had the shield with AF the same as we have today, but instead of being red it was blue. It was that [shade of] blue. I was the one who changed the shield to red, probably back in the late 70s. So I thought it would be appropriate to go back to my grandfather’s original color for this label.” Destino al Siglo® Length (Inches) Ring Gauge Length (mm) Diameter (mm) Cigars Per Box 5 50 127 20 13 & 26 de Amor 5 1/4 52 133 21 13 & 26 de Familias 6 1/8 47 156 19 13 & 26 de Passión 6 3/4 50 168 20 13 & 26 de Amistad 32 Key: Cigar actual size when 1 cm 1 inch de Amistad de Amor de Familias de Passión 33 The term “Angel’s Share” is used in the wine making process. Wine makers often use oak barrels to store their wine during the aging process. When the wine ages for long periods of time, some of it will evaporate from the barrel. The evaporated wine is called the Angel’s Share, alluding to the belief that the guardian angels that watch over the wine, sample it and give their blessings. Since we lost so much priceless aged tobacco during the fire in 2012, the inspiration for this cigar came from that exact term. The warehouses that burned down contained tobacco that had been aging since the late 40’s and 50’s. The Fuente family was saving it for the special, 100 year anniversary. Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be as the fire consumed much of the precious tobacco. It made the family extremely sad and depressed, but out of that came the Angel’s Share cigar. From this it is implied that the Angels enjoyed the enticing aroma from the tobacco that burned in the barns, but in turn, gave their blessings to the Fuente family for future successful endeavors. The Fuente Fuente OpusX Angel’s Share uses a wrapper from the middle priming of the tobacco plant as opposed to the top priming from which Fuente Fuente OpusX are typically made. Carlos Fuente Jr. focused more on this part of the plant, which he believes is where most of the heart and flavor is. 34 Angels Share® Length (Inches) Ring Gauge Robusto 5 1/4 50 127 20 29 Perfecxion X 6 1/4 48 159 19 32 7 48 178 19 32 6 5/8 46 143 19 32 Reserva D’ Chateau Fuente Fuente Length (mm) Diameter (mm) Robusto Cigars Per Box Fuente Fuente Perfecxion X Reserva D’ Chateau 35 Nestled in the rich, volcanic soil of the Dominican Republic lies Chateau de la Fuente, home to the finest cigar of our time, the coveted Fuente Fuente OpusX. The mineral rich soils of the Dominican Republic, once deemed unsuitable for wrapper tobacco, had never met with the expertise and tenacity of the Fuente family. Together they cultivated a glorious wrapper tobacco that became the foundation for the infamous Fuente Fuente OpusX, the first ever Dominican Puro. Today Fuente Fuente OpusX is regarded as the pinnacle of cigar perfection, and the standard by which all cigars are measured. The unique combination of Fuente tobaccos produce flavors both smooth and bold, in harmony with the sweet lingering fullness of the exclusive Fuente Fuente OpusX wrapper tobacco.
