The PCA Expo floor has its share of spectacle, but few presentations rival the grandeur of the Arturo Fuente booth. Truth be told, it\u2019s less a booth than a pavilion, and is where the brand\u2019s innovation and heritage are colorfully and intricately displayed under soft light and polished, dark wood.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Within the rhythm of hugs and handshakes, you\u2019ll find Jos\u00e9 Blanco. Now serving as Eastern Hemisphere director of sales, Blanco is one of the industry\u2019s most tenured and trusted voices.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While speaking with Jose, he chooses to channel attention to two new items that have been recently released and are on prime display at PCA.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each release is based around somber commemoration and tribute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first is the OpusX ReXilient. This cigar arrives as a solemn tribute marking the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. Reserved for select OpusX accounts, it\u2019s obviously been fashioned in a gorgeous red, white, and blue presentation, and will surely appeal to those who wish to have a super-premium cigar in a quiet moment of reflection and tribute.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Equally compelling is the Don Carlos 90 A\u00f1os, created to honor what would have been the 90th birthday of Carlos Fuente Sr. In a rare display of blending, Carlito Fuente Jr. employs dual wrappers on this cigar – one Dominican, one Cameroon.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, this means that a completely finished cigar with a premium, Fuente-grade wrapper leaf sits above another premium, Fuente-grade wrapper leaf.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Together, it\u2019s a pairing of PCA release cigars that speaks not only to craftsmanship, but also memory, because at Fuente, the act of looking forward is always<\/i> done with a respectful glance back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
