Keith Park is either a genius or one of the greatest salesmen of this generation.
The last thing the Tabacalera A. Fuente needed in 2004 was to create another cigar. The Fuentes were selling essentially every cigar they could make and had their hands full with orders for the standard lines, not to mention their popular Opus X brand.
But Park helped to create, with the Fuentes, two very unique, top-of-the-shelf lines that are not only expressions of the cigar makers art, but are perhaps more collectors items than they are cigars for smoking, a rare achievement outside of Cuba.
The two lines are God of Fire and the Fuente Aged Selection, both distributed by Parks Prometheus International, headquartered in a sleepy building in the mostly industrial setting of Commerce, California, south of Los Angeles.
Both brands are true limited editions, in which a specific number of cigars are made and when theyre gone, theyre gone. Park is now releasing the 2007 edition of the Fuente Aged Selection: three cigars created in 2006 by Carlos Fuente, Jr. (a.k.a. Carlito) in honor of his father Carlos celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Don Carlos line: a Robusto (5 1/4 inches by 50 ring), Double Robusto (5 3/4 x 52) and Toro (6 1/4 x 48).
Only 3,000 cigars of each size were distributed in 2006 (total of 9,000), but more are available in 2007 after a second year of aging. Park has packaged them in 800 specially-made humidors of 30 cigars each, with three trays of ten cigars provided in each box. Thats 8,000 of each size or 24,000 in total.
And there are three different finishes to choose from: Macassar Ebony (400), shiny Black (200) and Walnut (200). The price is high $1,250.00 per humidor but you get much more than a box of cigars: there are the cigars, the humidor plus a second, travel-size humidor and a new biography of Carlos Fuente with his unique story of perseverance through a lot of tough times before reaching todays pinnacle of success.
The whole package is more of a collectors item than simply a box of cigars.
The 2007 God of Fire series is being readied, to be highlighted by a set of tubed cigars and the first torpedo-shaped cigar in the series. As always, Park will have special, new packaging for this unique brand to help make it attractive.
