Arturo Fuente announces the addition of three new sizes to its Rare Pink line. A total of seven cigars now make up this extraordinary line, dedicated to the American market.
The first two vitolas are due to arrive in October: 3 3/4 x 54 and 7 1/4 x 53. Like the other sizes in the range, these will be perfectos.
Carlos "Carlito" Fuente Jr. told Halfwheel that there is also another module, which he describes as a "Lancero Figurado" that will arrive "several months after" October.
The line, officially known as the Rare Pinks Vintage 1960's Series, was launched at the end of 2020. The entire line sports an Ecuadorian wrapper over a blend of well-preserved recipe tripe tobaccos, including tobacco from Fuente Farms in Nicaragua.
For every box sold, the company will donate $13 to the American Cancer Society-Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. Liana Fuente, Carlito's wife, is behind the awareness-raising and fund-raising effort through this and other projects.
Fuente made it clear at the launch of the Rare Pink line that there would be more sizes. The four original sizes and their selling prices in US dollars are as follows:
Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Short Story (4 x 42/49) - $7.40
Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Signature (6 x 46) - $9.95
Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Work of Art (4 7/8 x 46/60) - $10.35
Arturo Fuente Rare Pink Happy Ending (5 1/2 x 53) - 11.85
