History

Arturo Fuente was founded in 1912 by its namesake and is today one of the most respected family-owned cigar makers in the world, run by the Fuente family in Santiago, Dominican Republic. The company survived fires and relocations across its long history before establishing itself as a Dominican powerhouse.

The brand is celebrated for the Hemingway series, the Don Carlos line, and especially Fuente Fuente OpusX, the first premium cigar to use a Dominican-grown wrapper and one of the most sought-after cigars in the world.
