Recent Trip to Fuente in the DR
Hey Gang,

Just got back from the D.R. Great weather and a great time. We had the pleasure of meeting Lucy, Carlito's assistant and Sam Mendez. Carlito Fuente's right hand and the manager of the A Fuente factory in Santiago... He gave us the VIP tour of Fuente. I have several photos posted @

http://www.2catzandadog.com/fuente.htm

A lot of myths busted and a lot of respect for Carlito Fuente... "We will sell no cigar before perfection". Thanks Sam.

PS on the way out, Sam brought me 10 Opus X as a birthday gift. Oh yea Opus fans... He also gave me a BBMF... Much Love

Andy

Re: Recent Trip to Fuente in the DR
Wow, what awesome pictures. hope you had a great time (you need a sledgehammer to the head if you didn't). How did they roll those experimental ones, did they show you? I'm drooling on the keyboard right now. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Recent Trip to Fuente in the DR
The funny thing is that we met the master roller who did those but didn't take the picture. I just kept say " I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy" We saw them roll various Fuente, VSG, Hemingway, Don Carlos, Diamond Crown, Anejo and Opus X, but did not get the chance to watch him roll the special wrappers. We were invited back anytime we want, and maybe then we can see him in action.
Much Love
Andy

Re: Recent Trip to Fuente in the DR
NICE PICS!!!! That's actually where I'm from. My family lives in the capital in Santo Domingo but I have aunts and cousins in Santiago so whenever I go up there I get a few things.

Looks like you had a blast though.

Re: Recent Trip to Fuente in the DR
We were staying in Puerto Plata at the Riu Bachata and our driver took us to Santiago. Plenty of pictures though.
Thanks... I mean Gracias...

Re: Recent Trip to Fuente in the DR
Thats pretty freaking cool. Are you in the cigar buisness or are you just a cigar fan? I always thought about a vaca in the D.R. and visiting a tabacco farm.
