Cigar History
In speaking on their collaboration, Carlos Carlito Fuente Jr. told Marshall;
“I want to do something for you very, very special. I am making a cigar for you, which I do for no one, to commemorate our long time friendship and my highest respect and admiration for you and your story. It’s an honor to be able to participate with you on this special anniversary. I am humbly honored to have been chosen. I poured my heart into every detail, hoping to make you proud. I will give you my best.”
Daniel Marshall visited Carlos Fuente and Ciro Cascella in Santiago, Dominican Republic on March 5, 2020. Carlos and Daniel discussed this masterpiece cigar after their recent visit to Chateau de la Fuente. Carlos mentioned their collaboration together is historic, and suggested Daniel wrap one of the eight cigars in his signature 24kt gold. “Anyone collecting these rare cigars in the special humidor will be collecting history,” said Fuente. Both the cigar and humidor symbolize the best of what the two men have created over their lifetimes.
