However, if great tobacco is available, or if there is an opportunity for our family to be involved in growing great tobacco in Pinar del Rio, I look forward to the opportunity to bring to cigar aficionados new and exciting creations blended with Cuban leaf. Maduros, properly grown and fermented, provide what are probably the sweetest, yet robust, tobacco tastes. To achieve this excellence requires a long and painstaking process. For this reason, it is likely that it is very difficult to find Fuente maduros at times. Please be patient.
All great things require attention, love and time.
