Arturo Fuente Toast Across America 2026 Sampler

Arturo Fuente Toast Across America 2026 Sampler — the annual limited edition charity release from the Fuente and Newman families benefiting the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation. Each 2-cigar coffin features two exclusive Shark vitolas unavailable anywhere else: the Fuente Fuente Opus X Perfecxion 77 Shark and the Diamond Crown Julius Caeser Shark.

The Toast Across America program unites the Fuente and Newman families — two of the cigar industry's most storied dynasties — in an annual fundraiser for the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation (CFCF). Since its inception, Toast Across America has raised millions of dollars for impoverished communities in the Dominican Republic, funding schools, healthcare facilities, and sustainable economic development where the tobacco is grown.

The 2026 Release

The Toast Across America 2026 Sampler features two exclusive Shark vitolas created specifically for this charity event — cigars that cannot be purchased through any other channel:

Fuente Fuente Opus X Perfecxion 77 Shark — A 5½ × 52 double-tapered figurado showcasing the legendary Opus X blend. Dominican Rosado wrapper from Château de la Fuente over Dominican binder and filler. Full-bodied with notes of cedar, leather, pepper, and the unmistakable Opus X complexity. Hand-rolled at Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia in Santiago, Dominican Republic.

Diamond Crown Julius Caeser Shark — A 5½ × 52 double-tapered figurado from the Diamond Crown portfolio. This Nicaraguan-influenced blend delivers medium-full body with notes of earth, cocoa, spice, and natural sweetness. Hand-rolled at the J.C. Newman PENSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

The Shark Vitola

The Shark is a dramatic double-tapered Perfecto with a pointed head and a flared foot — a shape that requires exceptional roller skill and delivers a smoking experience that evolves from the foot's broader flavor profile to the concentrated finish at the head. The Toast Across America Sharks are among the most collectible vitolas either family produces.

100% Charity

Unlike typical cigar sales, Toast Across America generates zero profit for retailers or manufacturers. Every dollar from every sampler goes directly to the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation. The Fuente and Newman families underwrite all production costs, ensuring that your purchase translates entirely into impact.

The Cigar Family Charitable Foundation

Founded by the Fuente and Newman families, CFCF operates the Cigar Family School in Bonao, Dominican Republic — providing free education to over 300 children from tobacco-farming families. The foundation also funds healthcare clinics, clean water initiatives, and vocational training programs throughout the region.

Strictly Limited

Toast Across America samplers are produced in limited quantities each year. When they're gone, they're gone — and they move fast.
