This is not the first time a fire has disrupted Fuente’s operations. The company has been hit by nine fires in its nearly 100 year history. As a precaution, Fuente recently shifted tobacco to different warehouses to avoid complete losses in the case of a fire. The strategy did work to some extent this time, but production will likely be cut back for at least next year. That’s a shame, because Fuente is known for putting out high quality cigars. Besides its own successful lines such as the Opus X, Fuente also produces cigars for Ashton and J.C. Newman. It should be interesting to see how Fuente bounces back from this unfortunate event. If history is any indication, the company will continue to strive forward to continue building its strong reputation.
