雪茄巨头阿图罗·富恩特已确定全新喀麦隆烟叶供应商，11月11日，该公司发布视频公告，宣告未来数年将获得充足的喀麦隆茄衣供应。首批喀麦隆烟叶已从全球最大烟草种植商之一的环球烟叶公司（niversal Leaf Tobacco Co.）运抵其多米尼加雪茄工厂，后续货柜将陆续送达。

此次供应商变更源于富恩特与前合作方M. Meerapfel Söhn公司的近期解约。

最新发布的视频中不仅展示了首批到货的喀麦隆烟叶，更包含公司总裁小卡洛斯·富恩特致消费者的深情告白。完整视频内容如下：

"作为传统雪茄匠人，有些事我向来不愿多言。"视频中小卡洛斯坦言，"但近期传言称我们的烟叶库存告急。亲爱的朋友们，请允许我分享近日经历。我从拉斯维加斯的大烟雾雪茄盛会归来，我有幸与数千名爱好者拥抱致意，但最珍贵的莫过于收获每位雪茄客的真挚情谊。众人皆对传言中'富恩特断供喀麦隆烟叶'的谣言忧心忡忡。本周初，我们刚验收完整整40英尺的恒温货柜，里面满载非洲喀麦隆茄衣。朋友们，未来多年我们都将持续供应非洲喀麦隆茄衣。"

富恩特每年手工卷制数千万支雪茄，其中多数采用喀麦隆茄衣。为保障长期战略布局，该企业始终保持着可观的烟叶战略储备。

"我永远不会让顾客失望。"小卡洛斯在独家专访中向《雪茄爱好者》强调，"希望消费者知晓：未来数十年间，他们始终能享用到心仪的唐卡洛斯与海明威系列雪茄。"

Arturo Fuente has a new Cameroon tobacco supplier, and the company is poised to release a video today showing that it will have plenty of Cameroon wrapper supply for years to come. The shipment—the first of many—was just delivered to the company’s cigar factory in the Dominican Republic from Universal Leaf Tobacco Co., one of the world’s largest tobacco growers. 

This follows Fuente’s recent breakup with its former Cameroon tobacco supplier, M. Meerapfel Söhn. 

The video shows that first shipment of Cameroon tobacco, and includes a personal message from company leader Carlos Fuente Jr. to his customers. You can view the video below.

“There’s things that as an old-school cigarmaker I don’t speak about,” said Fuente Jr. in the video. “But there have been rumors that we didn’t have tobacco, are short of tobacco. Let me just say something my dear friends. I just came back from the Big Smoke in Las Vegas. I had the blessing to hug thousands and thousands of people. But the greatest blessing was I received the hugs and the love from each one of them. And there’s a big concern from rumors that have been spread about us not receiving Cameroon and us not having Cameroon available for your favorite cigars. Early this week, we received an entire 40-foot container, refrigerated container of African Cameroon wrapper. My friends we have African Cameroon wrapper for years to come.”

Fuente makes tens of millions of cigars by hand every year, many of them wrapped in Cameroon. It has long held years of tobacco in reserve to ensure its long-term planning.

“I would never let my customers down,” Carlos Fuente Jr. told Cigar Aficionado in a one-on-one conversation. “All I want people to know is they’re going to have their Fuente Don Carlos and their Fuente Hemingways for many years.
