A Tragedy struck in 1924 when his factory burned down while he was in Cuba buying tobacco. By 1940 he started making cigars again. When his two children became school aged, he added rolling 50 cigars each to their homework every day after school.In 1962, after the Cuban Revolution, Carlos Arturo Fuente was in Cuba and after hearing about the possible trade embargo, he decided to by as much Cuban tobacco as he could so he purchased a 3 year supply of Cuban tobacco. In 1978 the company experienced another factory fire in Honduras. Losing a factory once again was proving to be another setback, luckily they could still produce cigars in the Ybor City FL location, but they were nearing bankruptcy. In 1980 Carlos Fuente opened Fuente LTD in Santiago, Dominican Republic. The following year, the Hemingway series was released. This unique shape was the first of its kind in the industry and helped to finally put the company on the global map. 100 years later the Fuente family continues to make the world’s finest cigars for generations to come.
