Arturo Fuente: Straight Answers

Are Arturo Fuente cigars good?

They are widely considered the benchmark for Dominican cigars. The family has made cigars since 1912, ages tobacco far longer than most factories, and lines like Hemingway, Don Carlos and Anejo routinely earn scores in the 90s. The Don Carlos Eye of the Shark was Cigar Aficionado's #1 Cigar of the Year in 2017.

What is the best Arturo Fuente cigar?

For most smokers, the Hemingway Short Story is the gateway and the Flor Fina 8-5-8 is the everyday classic. For a special occasion, the Don Carlos Eye of the Shark (a former #1 Cigar of the Year) and the Anejo Shark are the crown jewels. Our full ranked list is in our Best Arturo Fuente Cigars guide.

Where are Arturo Fuente cigars made?

In Santiago, Dominican Republic, at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia, with wrapper leaf for the top lines grown at the family's Chateau de la Fuente farm.

Are Arturo Fuente cigars Cuban?

No. The Fuente family has Cuban roots, but every Arturo Fuente cigar is made in the Dominican Republic. Fuente proved with OpusX that world-class wrapper could be grown on Dominican soil.

Where can I buy Arturo Fuente cigars near me?

King Corona carries Fuente at all four locations: two in Tampa's Ybor City (1523 E 7th Ave and, opening this November, King Corona 1902), plus Fullerton and Escondido in Southern California. Not nearby? We ship the full catalog from our Tampa humidor.

Do Arturo Fuente cigars ever go on sale?

Rarely, anywhere. Fuente controls production tightly and demand exceeds supply, so deep discounts usually signal gray-market or counterfeit product. The smart plays are fair everyday pricing from an authorized dealer, buying by the box, and free shipping over $99, which is exactly how we price.

Why are Anejo and OpusX so hard to find?

Production is limited by the wrapper leaf available, and Fuente allocates releases to retailers rather than open-ordering. Anejo traditionally appears around Father's Day and the winter holidays; OpusX allocations are small and irregular. Join our email list, which is where we announce drops first.

What is a good first Arturo Fuente cigar?

The Hemingway Short Story (about 40 minutes, naturally sweet Cameroon wrapper) or the Flor Fina 8-5-8 (the family's own favorite). Both are mild enough for a newer smoker and interesting enough that you will understand the reputation immediately.

What is the strongest Arturo Fuente cigar? The mildest?

The Anejo line (cognac-barrel-aged maduro) is the fullest regular-production Fuente we carry, with Don Carlos close behind. The mildest are the Gran Reserva classics in natural wrapper and the Hemingway series, which smoke mild to medium.
