Arturo Fuente Adding Three New Rare Pink Vitolas
Arturo Fuente will be adding a trio of new sizes to its Rare Pink line, bringing the total number of cigars in the line to seven.
The first two vitolas are scheduled to arrive in October: 3 3/4 x 54 and 7 1/4 x 53. Like the rest of the sizes in the line, they will be perfectos.
Carlos “Carlito” Fuente Jr. told
halfwheel that there is also another size, which he described as a “Lancero Figurado” that will arrive “several months after” October.
The line, formally known as Rare Pinks Vintage 1960’s Series, debuted late last year. It uses an Ecuadorian wrapper over a mixture of filler tobaccos, including tobacco from the Fuente farms in Nicaragua.
The Arturo Fuente Rare Pinks are off to stores.
Last week, the company began shipping the first four sizes of its much-talked-about Rare Pinks Vintage 1960’s Series. Each cigar is a perfecto shaped size that uses an Ecuadorian wrapper over a mixture of filler blends, including Nicaraguan tobaccos from the Fuente farms in Estelí. The more notable part of the project is that the company is donating $13 for every box sold to The American Cancer Society Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Liana Fuente has spearheaded the effort to raise awareness and funds through this project and others, which also included Liana shaving her hair and her father, Carlos “Carlito” Jr., shaving his signature mustache earlier this month.
