First Look: “Angels’ Share” Oil Painting by Cigar Artist David Gerena

Fine Tobacco NYC is pleased to offer our readers a first look at the newest piece from cigar artist David Gerena.

“Angel’s Share” is a 30″ x 40″ oil on canvas that depicts the fire which took place at the Arturo Fuente cigar factory in the Dominican Republic in August of 2011.

In David Gerena’s words: “The Arturo Fuente Cigar Company is a 100 year old company producing some of the finest cigars in the world. The message of this painting along with it’s purpose is to be a testament to the Fuentes perseverance and charitable efforts”.

The “Angels’ Share” Painting will be auctioned off with proceeds going to the Cigar Family Charitable Foundation to help underprivileged kids in the Dominican Republic. The “Angels’ Share” painting is being donated on behalf of Les Bodwell and David Gerena.
