OpusX, Chateau Fuente, Julius Caeser, Cuesta-Rey, shall we go on? You wouldn't have Dominican cigars without the Dominican people.The mountainous agricultural Bonao region of the Dominican Republic, however, suffers from extreme poverty, an inadequate educational system, and poor water quality, which greatly affects people's health. Two giants in premium cigarsâCarlos âCarlitoâ P. Fuente, Jr., chairman of Arturo Fuente Cigars and Eric Newman, president of J.C. Newman Cigar Companyâset out to change all that.
In the D.R., the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation (CFCF) has funded the creation of a 23-acre campus with a K-12 school, community kitchen, medical and dental clinics, sports facilities, an organic farm and fishery, and local infrastructure improvements for the region.
Tony Kattengell, vice president of sales and marketing for The LEAGUE and Dellas Edmisten Jr, global technical manager for Infinera represent CFCF in this interview with Boveda's Drew Emmer.
