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 cigars—Carlos “Carlito” P. Fuente, Jr., chairman of Arturo Fuente Cigars and Eric Newman, president of J.C. Newman Cigar Company—set 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.

What is Boveda? Luxury and craft cigars brands protect their blends with Boveda 2-way humidity control—that brown pack that you find in the box with your cigars. Boveda preserves the flavor and character of premium cigars by keeping them at ideal humidity. At home, continue to use Boveda in your humidor to keep cigars well-humidified or they can be hard to light, burn to too fast or get moldy. With Boveda in your humidor, you'll enjoy full flavor and a perfect smoke from every cigar.
