In 2022, Arturo Fuente celebrated the 110th anniversary of its founding by its namesake cigar maker, a Cuban immigrant whose journey to Florida predated the waves of migration begotten by Castro’s revolution some 50 years later. To commemorate the company’s anniversary, it released two books published by the world’s preeminent producer of coffee-table tomes, Assouline. The first of these books, Arturo Fuente: Since 1912, told the story of the firm’s accomplishments and the legendary personalities behind the world’s most prestigious cigar brand.
The second of these books, Arturo Fuente: From Dream to Dynasty meticulously details Arturo Fuente’s history and storied craftsmanship, and it’s what’s available here in a box-set edition limited to just 1,500 copies worldwide, stunningly packaged with 22 of the rarest and most coveted cigars Arturo Fuente has ever produced (hand-selected by Fuente chief Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr. himself), as specified below.
Spanning 304 pages artfully written by cigar expert and historian Aaron “Sig” Sigmund (the founding editor of Smoke magazine and The Cigar Report) and lavishly illustrated by photographer and art director Ian Spanier, this exceptional volume is complete with a booklet containing a numbered certificate of authenticity.
But the real star of the show here are the cigars, which come enclosed in two boxes whose artwork is designed to match the book they accompany to form a magnified version of a classic Arturo Fuente cigar band. All of these sticks (even the ones whose names bear labels other than Fuente) were personally blended by Carlito and rolled by Arturo Fuente’s most skilled torcedores at the company’s Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia. factory in the Dominican Republic.
