Humble, resilient, and strong: the Arturo Fuente family is all this and more. Their saga begins with Don Arturo Fuente in pursuit of the American dream, deploying his precious talents as a Cuban craftsman, and continues with his son, Don Carlos Fuente Sr., his grandson, Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr., and his sister, Don Arturo’s granddaughter, Cynthia Fuente. Behind the scenes: the promising fourth generation.

The pleasure of smoking, the comfort, solace, and camaraderie provided by a good cigar have been a source of enjoyment for centuries. This book tells the story of a true legacy, from Fuente’s early years to the creation of the world-famous Fuente OpusX, the first commercially viable 100% Dominican puro, and his remarkable contribution to the evolution of modern cigars.

Aaron Sigmond is a cigar expert. He celebrates the accomplishments of the last three generations of the Fuente family, their cigars, and how their family name and the OpusX brand have become synonymous with global gourmet luxury. With contributions from actor-director Andy García and Ciro Cascella, Executive Chairman of Tabacalera A. Fuente, this volume pays tribute to the cigar, a timeless passion, and to the Fuente family.

This large-format, hand-bound book, adorned with authentic cigar bands, is a must-have for any cigar connoisseur, especially Arturo Fuente enthusiasts.
