A few pics from last week...

Post by Kip » Tue Feb 10, 2015 3:33 pm

Frankly, I've taken many hundreds of pictures from Chateau de la Fuente & the Fuente factory over the years...so I took very few this year. We did get to visit a couple of new locales this year, however, one of which was a farm in Villa Gonzalez (where a good bit of Fuente filler leaf comes from). Thought I'd drop just a few pics from there for those who've never seen that....

These are actually from the Chateau, but I dig the pics...

These 8 Royal Palms, as I posted up on the blog, were the last remnant of the farm after Hurricane Georges in '98. They lost 17 of their 19 barns on the farm that year, and basically had to start from scratch (one of many times the Fuente family has had to do that). They're pictured on every Opus box, as well as much of their marketing literature.

They say Cabbage Patch Babies were found under a cabbage leaf. Well, my story is somewhat similar. Somewhat....
