Experience Arturo Fuente: A Legacy of Dominican Excellence
At Boisdale’s online shop, we are honoured to showcase Arturo Fuente, one of the world’s most revered cigar families. Established in 1912, this legendary brand represents over a century of dedication to craftsmanship, tradition, and passion — a true benchmark of quality in the world of premium cigars.
A Family Legacy of Craftsmanship
The Arturo Fuente story began in Tampa, Florida, when founder Arturo Fuente, a Cuban immigrant, started rolling cigars by hand in his home. From those humble beginnings, the brand grew steadily, guided by the Fuente family’s unwavering commitment to excellence. After relocating production to the Dominican Republic in the 1980s, the Fuentes built the renowned Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia — a factory that has become synonymous with artistry and precision.
Now led by the Fuente family’s third and fourth generations, the brand continues to uphold its founding philosophy: “We will never rush the hands of time.”
Tobacco and Craftsmanship
Arturo Fuente cigars are crafted using meticulously aged tobaccos from the Fuente family’s own estates in the Dominican Republic. Some of their most celebrated lines — including the Hemingway, Gran Reserva, and the exceptional OpusX — are rolled entirely with Dominican-grown leaves, representing a rare “puro” expression of the country’s terroir.
Each cigar is hand-rolled by master torcedores and aged to perfection, resulting in flawless construction, an even burn, and consistently smooth flavour. The brand’s commitment to quality and detail has earned it countless accolades and a loyal following worldwide.
