Everyone wants to experience a brand with seven different varieties and one that was created by a Cuban. In 1912, Arturo Fuente created the brand name of cigars in West Tampa, Florida. After coming to the US in 1902 to remove himself from the problems of the Spanish-American War, he left Cuba and started his company. Tobacco was imported from Cuba and used to make the cigars. In 1924, the company was struck by a fire and the plant burned to the ground. It had taken about 22 years before Arturo Fuente decided to continue producing his cigars.
After 1962, Fuente was no longer allowed to use Cuban tobacco because of the Cuba Trade Embargo, so he started buying leaves from Columbia and Puerto Rico. Because classic Havano flavors were still desired by Americans and other foreigners, they started blending tobaccos to create a similar flavor. In 1980, they opened a factory in the Dominican Republic and started growing their own tobacco.
