"I wanted to produce something. I remembered. I wanted to go back to my childhood. I wanted to go back to the happiest moments of my life. I wanted my grandfather to be proud of me. I wanted my father to be proud of me and my children to someday be proud of me. It was something I had to do."
— Carlito Fuente

The Collection
The Fuente Story Collection is Carlito's most personal tribute — a celebration of family, legacy, and the journey from a small Cuban cigar maker to one of the most respected names in the world. This ashtray set captures that story in crystal and color.
The Ashtray
A substantial oval crystal ashtray rendered in the unmistakable Opus X band design. Deep red center with the interlocking "X" monogram. Gold detailing and ornate scrollwork around the perimeter. Two generous cigar rests notched into the rim. This is the centerpiece of any Fuente collection — functional art that belongs in a lounge, a study, or anywhere cigars are celebrated.
The Cigar Rest
A sculptural crystal piece in the shape of the iconic Opus X "X" — rendered in green, gold, and white with intricate detailing. A standalone cigar rest and a collector's object in its own right.
The Presentation
Both pieces arrive in a signature green lacquer presentation box bearing Carlito Fuente's golden signature, the Opus X crest, and the phrase that defines the brand: "Only Fuente Is Fuente." Open the lid to reveal an image of Carlos Fuente Sr. and Carlito together in the tobacco fields of Chateau de la Fuente, alongside Carlito's handwritten dedication to his father.
This is more than an ashtray set. It's a piece of the story.
Now available at The Tobacconist of Greenwich.
