Carlito Fuente, How Freakin' Cool

[Volusianator]

Just had a short correspondence via a few PM's (or Smoke Signals as they're called on CF) with Carlito Fuente. I know he's just a dude doin' his job, but it's pretty cool to be PM'ing with Carlito Fuente!

He like Pepin and a few others could hold my attention for hours. Yes, he's just doing his job, but like other artists his easel just happens to be bigger than most.

A true master!

Amen to that... Master is the key word!!

He's a cool guy. Very down to earth and definitely willing to share with fellow lovers of the leaf.
I met him many years ago at a herf in Chicago.

Very cool, I met Jorge Padron once and he was a very humble guy who jsut wanted to talk cigars.

I met Carlito in Chicago and I gotta say there is a man livin' the dream baby. Don't hate the playa just hate the game!

Met him at the Big Smoke in NYC. Very nice guy!

Pretty cool indeed. Actually, REALLY cool

Yeah, they are legends in this industry, but still just regular ol' men, they bleed the same, cry the same and feel pain like us all. But it was still cool to have that banter back and forth. His last SS said, "Wade, you're welcome in my home and my heart anytime." I thought that was pretty cool.

It is way cool. This guy is so down to earth and friendly he is amazing. I have met him a few itimes and smoked a cigar with him at my second big smoke when he sat with us afterwards. Good on you Wade. Oh and he has a fantastic memory for people.

He is a stright up guy, was in the Vegas airport with him for a hr waiting for a flight, after the Big Smoke in 2006, Man what a cool dude.........

That is totally cool Wade. The Tampa HERF this past October the entire group met Carlito II and his Father at their store in Ybor City. They took some serious time with us, answered all our questions, talked about the company etc. Carlito was as genuine and humble as one could be (and was smoking a Fuente, I checked).

Just out of curiosity, what was he smoking? In most photos, it looks as if it's a torpedo. Did you happen to catch what it was?
