God Of Fire
The God of Fire cigars were first introduced in November 2004 in the majestically crafted, limited edition humidors produced by Prometheus. Since then, they have been sold through an exclusive group of authorized God of Fire dealers worldwide, and cigar connoisseurs all over the world have given the God of Fire cigars raving reviews.
For the releases in 2004 - 2006, the God of Fire cigars were encased in individual coffin boxes. In May 2007, the packaging boxes were changed and the God of Fire cigars are now released in their signature red box imprinted with Prometheus Bound.
All God of Fire cigars are adorned with two bands.The main band features a dramatic color rendition of Prometheus bound to a huge rock and attacked by an eagle for having stolen fire from Zeus and given it to mankind.
The second band signifies who blended the cigar and what year the cigar was made. Carlos Fuente, Sr. and his son, Carlito Fuente, have blended the God of Fire cigars. God of Fire by Don Carlos uses the Ecuadorian wrapper whereas God of Fire by Carlito, Cameroon. We are absolutely honored by the special blends created by the two legendary cigar makers.
In the second band, we also put the year of production. “After the harvest, the fresh green tobacco is hung in curing barns where their moisture is allowed to evaporate slowly. After over 6 weeks in the curing barn, the leaves gradually turn to a beautiful, rich shade of brown. The cured tobacco leaves are then fermented - after which they are aged for years before the Fuentes consider them ready for their finest cigars. Even though the cigars are made with aged tobacco, they have to be aged again after skilled torcedors rolled them.” (Journey to Chateau de la Fuente)
When the cigars are first made, they are in the embryonic stage in which their ultimate taste is still being developed. As they are aged, they go through the maturation. During the maturation, the filler, binder and wrapper leaves form a perfect unity and balance, and the taste of the combined tobaccos becomes even more enhanced. The cigars, which are aged for one year in an ideal environment, will taste better than when they were first made. The taste of cigars reaches their pinnacle as they are aged for longer years.
When you produce wine, you do not use aged grapes. You harvest grapes for that year’s wine. However, in case of cigar making, you use the tobacco, which has already been aged for many years. The year on the bottle of vintage wine signifies the year of grape harvest. However, it is difficult to put the year of tobacco harvest on the box of cigars. For there is a good chance that the filler, binder and wrapper leaves are all harvested in different years. The year on the second band of the God of Fire cigars signifies when the cigar was produced. You can track how long the God of Fire cigars have been aged since their production from the year on the second band.
Please enjoy these aged, exquisite cigars but do not forget to age some of these vintage cigars even further, like fine wines, for added enjoyment in the future.
