The Fuente Fuente OpusX United We Stand ReXilient is Arturo Fuente's tribute to the 25th anniversary of the September 11th attacks. Carlito Fuente Jr. has spoken about carrying the project with him since 2001, when he was in Philadelphia with his father on the morning of the attacks. Fuente worked with the FDNY, the NYPD, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey on packaging that carries badge numbers of fallen first responders, and the company is donating $11 from every box to Tunnel to Towers, which provides housing assistance to disabled veterans, Gold Star families, and the families of fallen first responders.
Fuente Pack
Four cigars, all Fuente, anchored by ReXilient. The two Double Chateau selections are the same size in Natural and Maduro, which makes this a genuinely useful side-by-side for anyone who has never compared the two wrappers directly.
