Inside Chateau Fuente

[moki]

Arturo Fuente recently had a "Cigar Family Conference" in which a select few people were able to get a tour of the tobacco farms and rolling facilities down in the Dominican Republic. The images are a fascinating insight into the Chateau Fuente facilities. Even if you don't like Opus X/AF cigars (ie, you're slightly crazy ), it's a really cool tour of a cigar facility:

The "Dan Marino" football cigars are crazy, and Arial's special creations are stunningly beautiful.

Here are some pictures of the actual farm:

A box of 12 of the footballs sold at auction for $13,000. The money went to charity.

I wouldn't sweat not having one.
