Cigar smoking is an experience quite unlike that of smoking a cigarette. Arturo Cigars is a particular brand of cigars founded by Arturo Fuente Sr, who learned the art of cigar making from his father when he was a young boy. The company is currently owned by his descendants who have been in the cigar business for over a century. Originally, these cigars were made with tobacco from Cuba until 1960 but after the enmity between the US and Cuba put an embargo in place, they were made with Dominican tobacco. The primary center of this brand of cigar is the Dominican Republic.
Arturo cigars are among the best in the world and range from the inexpensive to the top quality ones. The tobacco for the cigars is grown in the family plantation, Chateau de la Fuente, and each cigar symbolizes four generations of the Arturo Fente family. The company has four factories, six plantations and over two thousand people working for them. Every cigar is hand made. Each leaf is selected personally from the family’s coffers and used only for these exclusive cigars. The leaf is then hand rolled and wrapped with any one of these wrappers: - African Cameroon, Connecticut Shade or Broadleaf or Ecuadorian Sun Grown. The cigars are then aged inside one of Fuente’s vaults made of Spanish cedar. The dedication of the family shows in the quality and exacting standards of each cigar that bears their name and that of their founder Arturo Fuente. Each cigar is made exactly as he had made it a century ago.
A single cigar can be smoked of and on and need not be smoked continuously. In between, lighting it, taking a few draws and putting it off, it has to be rested. Cigars should also have the right amount of humidity for optimum flavor. This is where the right cigar accessories come into the picture. A cigar accessory should match the quality of the cigar for only the best cigar humidor, ashtray or cutter will do justice to it. Humidors come in a variety of styles and shapes and can keep the cigars in elegance. Good quality cigar cutters cut the cigar easily in stylish way. Ashtrays too should be the best for Arturo Fente cigars.
