J. Fuego Cigar Company is adding a 5 1/2 x 60 line extension to its popular J. Fuego Origen Natural and Maduro lines of cigars.The new line extensions will be launched at the 2013 IPCPR Trade Show. The announcement of these new vitolas were made by company President Jesus Fuego and has been reflected on the J. Fuego company web-stite.
The Fuego family has a five generation history in the cigar business that originated in Cuba. The Fuego family left Cuba in 1995 and landed in Central America. Jesus Fuego worked as a grower and blender for many other companies before setting out on his own and founding Tabacos S.A. This would launch the J. Fuego brand.
