The holidays are upon us and with that comes the special releases from many manufacturers. Arturo Fuente is no exception of this unofficial rule. This is the time of year when Arturo Fuente sends out their most prized products that many people wait all year long for. This year, one of those products is the second release of the La Gran Fumada The Impossible Collection Vol. II sampler.
The sampler contains thirteen rare cigars, most of which are not regularly sold in the market. It also contains a Xikar Xi cutter that is custom to this set. The List of the cigars is as follows:
- Fuente Fuente OpusX Oro Oscuro OxO Phantom
- Fuente Fuente OpusX 20 Years Celebration Phantom
- Fuente Fuente OpusX Double Corona Cigar Family Charitable Foundation Events Exclusive
- Fuente Fuente OpusX 2020 Viento d’Amor

These samplers were originally created for an event at the Arturo Fuente Cigar Club in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic back in 2022. Carlito and Ciro later decided to release this is set in the United States although quantities are very limited. It was then that at the 2023 PCA Trade Show, we saw the black set on display in the AF booth last year and this year this box was present. While there have been three official releases of this set through AFCC, this is the second release from last year. The first came in a black box, this one is a red box and this year’s release (assuming to be released here next year) is a yellow box.
Arturo Fuente wouldn’t disclose an MSRP, however several retailers who have had it have said that customers can expect to pay at least $2,500 – $2,700 for this sampler. Only 500 boxes will be available in the United States.
