Casa Fuente

I just read in a blog that Casa Fuente in Las Vegas will be closing due to a lease issue at Caesar's.
Does anyone else have information on this?
Surely, they would try to secure a new location, wouldn't they?

I wonder what this will do to the Casa Fuente cigars availability in other retail stores in the meanwhile.

I am guessing Fuente either made this decision to shut down the Vegas Casa store or they saw this coming and decided to begin shipping CF to retailers around the country. But this is just a guess. But it seemed strange when they began shipping CF cigars to retailers.

I have not heard this but couple years ago when they first started releasing cf to retailers I expected it was a 1 time thing. My guess is now they know they can sell nationwide why limit themselves. I bet they may still do a store in Vegas but if not it's not affecting me.

Here's what I've heard - On going battle with Caesars, including business hours and the nail in the coffin of disallowing the "outdoor" smoking area (outside seating/smoking area of the shop, in the open mall area, which effectively doubled their space). Lease is up in one year from April and they'll assuredly be gone.

Further complicating all this is issues between the shop and the Fuentes. They don't and haven't had inventory or merch for years. When Casa Fuente was released wide, I was standing in the shop looking at empty shelves. I actually took a call from @Old Smokey sitting in the shop and got in on a box split with him!

Don't be surprised if they move and rename to Casa Bradley, Casa Warped, or Casa...?

That would make a good title for a song by a Mariachi band.

That's some good intel. Thanks, TJ! So, we should expect to see occasional releases of Casa Fuentes out in the wild?

I might know where a few casa fuente are.... they may look similar to something you got from Santa.

Fuente must own the name/logo because they've released them before, so I'd say it's likely.

If they truly divorce themselves from that store/ownership group, I wonder if we'll see a Casa Fuente shop(s) pop up elsewhere.

Edit: What all did the blog say?
