Cynthia Fuente: "The First Lady of Cigars"

Nicknamed "The First Lady of Cigars" for holding the highest ranking corporate position within the cigar industry, Cynthia Fuente Saurez is the president of U.S. operations for the Arturo Fuente Tobacco Company. 

The Fuente family's tobacco roots go back to the old world of nineteenth century Cuba. Born in 1887, Arturo Fuente (Cynthia's Grandfather) learned the art of cultivating tobacco and manufacturing handmade cigars from his father in Cuba. In 1980, the Fuente's opened their first factory in the Dominican Republic with just seven employees.

The superior quality of Arturo Fuente cigars quickly established a loyal core of consumers, which necessitated the building of a second factory. Today, the Fuente family has over 2,500 employees in four factories in Santiago, Dominican Republic. 

Cynthia Fuente said, "When I think about how far the company has come in my life, I am in awe. I am so lucky to have had a first-hand look at history."

Eberle WineryEberle Winery

In 1973, Gary Eberle began his career in the wine industry by heading his family’s Estrella River Winery and produced 500,000 cases a year at its facility. Eberle’s pioneering spirit didn’t stop there. In 1980, he co-founded the Paso Robles Appellation and in 1983, Gary opened the doors to his own Eberle Winery with the premiere of Eberle’s 1979 Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Eberle handcrafts 25,000 cases of wine each year from surrounding Estate vineyards. And, after more than 33 years since the release of the Eberle label, the winery consistently remains one of the highest award-winning wineries in the United States. 

The Boar
The German name "Eberle" translates to "small boar." At Eberle Winery, a bronze boar greets every guest who visits the Tasting Room. The statue is the 93rd replica of the original bronze Porcellino cast by Tacca in 1620. And today, the original can be found in the straw market in Florence, Italy. It is considered good luck to rub the boar's nose and toss a coin in the water below. All money collected at the Eberle boar fountain is donated to local children's charities.
