Fuente Rare Pinks Delayed, Casa Fuente instead!

Fuente Rare Pinks Delayed, Casa Fuente instead!

There's good news and bad news for Fuente fans. First, the bad news: shipments of Arturo Fuente Rare Pinks, which were expected this month, have been delayed, and no specific delivery date has been established. According to Fuente, the delay was caused by logistical complications linked to the pandemic.

The good news? Arturo Fuente Cigar Co. has decided to send Casa Fuente cigars instead. These are the vitolas which, until now, have only been available at the Casa Fuente show in Las Vegas.

Not to be confused with Fuente's Casa Cuba, Casa Fuente house cigars are made with a Cameroonian wrapper around Dominican tobacco and have never been officially sold outside the show (although they have been sold on the secondary market and occasionally passed out at Fuente events). The range comes in 10 sizes, including three cigars in a "natural" Ecuadorian wrapper, although it's unclear how these sizes will be allocated to Fuente retailers. What is clear is that these cigars are shipping today and should arrive in cigar stores by Friday.

All Casa Fuente cigars come in boxes of 25.
