Arturo Fuente is a brand with rich history, an eclectic catalog, and a brand that others love to flock to for a collaboration like no other.

After being in America for two years, Arturo Fuente launched his company in 1912 at just 24 years old. By the 1950s, Fuente cigars expanded their core lines and Carlos Fuente became the company’s sole proprietor.

Since then, Arturo Fuente has been a top-tier cigar brand that has made a great reputation for the cigar business in general. Another thing that makes the Fuente company so unique, is how they’ve opened their factory doors to other manufacturers to blend their own creations.

So, for this week’s Top 5, we’re dedicating our list to some of the best cigar brands to come out and be produced by the Arturo Fuente Factory!
