Arturo Fuente Hemigway Opus X Elie Bleu Humidor

In early 2020, Carlos Fuente Jr. announced  that Arturo Fuente would release a special version of its popular Hemingway line with a rosado wrapper as an exclusive for retailers that attended the 2020 PCA Convention & Trade Show. That project was unfortunately put on hold due to the Covid pandemic. Luckily the wait is over and the special project is back on track.

The cigar is called the Arturo Fuente Hemingway OpusX, a cigar that is described as unique compared to the existing OpusX blends. Fuente Jr. says this is a tribute to his father, the late Carlos Fuente Sr., who created the Hemingway brand in the 1980s. It will be offered in a special 7 x 50 size and it will be sold, at least for now, in a special Elie Bleu humidor that was designed by Elie Bleu and Manny Iriarte, a longtime Arturo Fuente collaborator. The humidors themselves  evoke memories of the Ernest Hemingway House in Key West, Florida. Elie Bleu, a renowned French humidor maker, expertly crafted these humidors using sycamore veneers, marquetry, and elegant metallic details. Resting on a tile base, each humidor showcases a beautiful stained glass lid. Its dimensions are 14.45 inches x 12.6 inches x 9.84 inches
