  Arturo Fuente Destino al Siglo

  The Arturo Fuente Gran AniverXario Destino al Siglo is one of the most exclusive Fuente cigars ever made. It was made to celebrate the 100 years of the Arturo Fuente cigar brand in 2012 (Siglo means century in Spanish). However, a fire in the Fuente factory in 2011 delayed the release of these cigars until the end of 2013. Don Arturo Destino Al Siglo, as the brand is also known, has a beautiful double band with the picture of the brand's founder, Don Arturo. The boxes of 10 look like books and the cigars are medium to full bodied with Habano-seed Dominican Sun Grown wrappers.

• Cigar Wrapper
  Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.
• Cigar Binder
  Dominican Republic

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Dominican Republic is a traditional tobacco-growing country. In the 60's, a Cuban seed was introduced and the resulting tobacco, called Piloto Cubano, became famous as a good substitute of the Cuban tobacco that was no longer allowed to enter the USA. Piloto Cubano is full bodied while the Dominican Olor tobacco is milder but more aromatic.
• Cigar Filler
  Dominican Republic

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
  Filler (or “tripa” in Spanish) is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar. The Dominican Republic is considered one of the most premier tobacco growing countries in the world. The filler tobacco grown in this Caribbean island nation ranges from mild to full bodied. Olor Dominicano and Piloto Cubano are the main types of tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic.
