They are indeed made by Fuente. A couple years ago I went into Tampa Sweethearts on a Saturday morning when they opened. Arturo himself was there.He gave us a quick tour of the shop and
talked about all the cigars they were involved in. He also told us his every day cigar was the Flor de Ybor City. Out of all the cigars at his disposal, that was his choice.

I order them quite often and they are a great smoke at a very modest price point.
