Cigars For Charity 

It's time to light up a Fuente for a very good cause. On November 22nd, the Fuente and Newman cigar families hope to have 5,000 cigar aficionados simultaneously light up, creating the world's largest cigar toast. The event aims to raise more than $250,000 for the children of El Caribe, where Fuente grows wrapper tobacco in the Dominican Republic.

"We wanted to see if we could help the children in the surrounding communities," said Eric M. Newman, president of the J.C. Newman Cigar Co. as he described the project at a recent lunch at New York City's Grand Havana Room. He held up photographs of children. "These are our kids. We're happy that cigars can be the catalyst to help make dreams come true." . . .

On November 22, more than 100 smoke shops will host the event
