FFOX Lost City 5 Cigar Assortment

The FFOX Lost City 5-Cigar Assortment is one of the rarest collector's sets Arturo Fuente has ever released — five cigars built from a tobacco crop with a story unlike anything else in the premium cigar world. In 2004, Carlito Fuente grew a special summer crop at Chateau de la Fuente specifically for the filming of Andy Garcia's movie The Lost City — a departure from the normal winter-to-spring cultivation cycle that gave the leaf a distinct flavor profile unlike any other tobacco he'd grown on the estate. That crop was then aged for more than ten years before it was ever rolled into a cigar, and the Lost City line was released in an extremely limited edition totaling just 500 boxes with five dollars from every stick going to the Lost City Scholarship Fund benefiting the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation.

The five-cigar assortment gives you a cross-section of the Lost City vitola range — all built from the same summer-grown Dominican Corojo wrapper and 10-plus-year-aged Dominican binder and filler grown at Chateau de la Fuente. The decade-plus of aging has done what great aging always does to great tobacco: rounded the edges, integrated the components, and deepened the complexity into something that smokes with a smoothness and cohesion that no blending alone can replicate. Construction at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia is flawless throughout — clean cap work, an even burn, and a draw that stays effortlessly open across every vitola in the set.

Medium in strength and silky smooth from first draw to last, the profile moves through cedar and leather up front, oak and spice building through the middle, and a creamy, naturally sweet finish that carries the character of the summer-grown Dominican leaf all the way through. With only 500 boxes ever produced, finding a five-cigar assortment is a genuine find. These are cigars built for the occasion that deserves them most — and for the humidor afterward.
