FACTS COMMON TO ALL COUN TS
A. Fuente and its fa mou s OPUS Tra demarks
14 . Fuente Cigar Ltd ., the manufacturer of cigars sold by Fuente
Marketing Ltd . in the United States, is one of the largest family-owned and family-
run premium hand-rolled cigar companies in the world . The Fuente family, like
many other cigar families, originated in Cuba, but then settled in Tampa, Florida
and started selling cigars in the United States in 1912 . Faced with adversity and
fires, the company had times of prosperity and struggle, and emerged in the mid-
1900s as the present day cigar company . Four generations of the Fuente family
have labored to produce the finest cigars and to make the company internationally
renowned for its cigars .
15 . Since the mid-1900s, the Fuente family has continuously produced
and sold throughout the United States high-quality cigars in association with
various trademarks to identify the source of its high-quality cigars . In recent years,
Fuente's products have enjoyed unprecedented popularity . Independent surveys
show that Fuente's brands are both the best-selling and the most sought after cigars
in the American market.
4
16 . Fuente is the owner of many federally registered and common law
trademarks for cigars and cigar related products . Among others, Fuente is the
owner of numerous trademarks incorporating the mark "OPUS" in association with
cigars. Fuente is the owner of the following registrations and applications all of
which feature the mark OPUS :
a. U.S . Trademark Registration No . 1,989,060 for the mark

FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X in International Class 34,
b . U.S . Registration 2,495,579 for the mark FUENTE OPUSX in
International Class 34
c. U.S . Trademark Registration No . 2,256,200 for the mark
FUENTE FUENTE OPUSX Design in International Class 34,
d . U.S . Registration 2,364,801 for the mark FUENTE FUENTE
OPUSX Design in International Class 34, and
e. U.S . Application Serial No . 77/404,800 for the mark FUENTE
FUENTE OPUS X Design (Color) in International Class 34 .
The above-referenced marks shall individually and collectively be referred to as
"the OPUS Marks" . Copies of each of these U .S . Trademark Registrations and
Application are attached hereto as Exhibit A .
17 . The above registrations are valid and subsisting, and Registration
Nos . 1,989,060, 2,495,579, 2,256,200 and 2,364,801 are incontestable .
18. Fuente's cigars, including FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X cigars are
among the most important, recognizable and high profile products in the cigar
industry. The FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X trademark and each of the associated
5
OPUS Marks, are some of the most widely known and famous trademarks in the
cigar industry .
19. Fuente worked for years to develop the FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X
cigar . During the lengthy development of the FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X cigar
in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Fuente's top-priority, high-profile development
effort was the subject of much publicity and became well known throughout the
cigar industry .
20 . The tobacco for the first crop of FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X cigars
was harvested in 1992. Once sufficient amounts of premium Dominican tobacco
had been grown, harvested, cured and aged the Fuente family hand-picked 30 of
Fuente's 900-plus cigar rollers to ensure that FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X cigars
would be hand-made by Fuente's most skilled and highly-trained artisans .
21 . The end result of years of Fuente's efforts and multi-million dollar
investment is a cigar brand that is extraordinarily sought after among cigar
aficionados . The FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X cigar, which was introduced to
market in 1 995, was described by Forties magazine as "a 100% Dominican cigar
that Castro himself would envy ." It has been consistently ranked in the 90's (on a
scale of up to 100) by Cigar Insider and Cigar Aficionado, two prominent cigar
publications, and has received the highest rating of any Dominican cigar ever
6
made. In 2005, the FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X cigar was named "The Best Cigar
of the Year" by Cigar Aficionado and in 2007 it was ranked second best . As a
result, the FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X cigar and associated trademarks have
become some of the most famous in the cigar industry .
22 . Fuente is the owner of all rights in the OPUS Marks, and is the
exclusive owner of each of the federal registrations and applications therefore . See
Exhibit A .
23 . The OPUS Marks are widely recognized as indicating premium hand-
rolled cigars made by Fuente and cigar related products originating from or
approved by Fuente .
24. Fuente's cigars bearing the OPUS Marks are marketed and sold, and
have been continuously marketed and sold, in interstate commerce throughout the
United States since at least as early as 1995 .
25. Fuente's cigars bearing the OPUS Marks have been widely offered for
sale and sold throughout the U .S . in cigar stores (often called smoke-shops) and via
the Internet .
26 . Fuente's cigars and cigar related products bearing the OPUS Marks
have been and are sold to cigar smokers throughout in the U .S .
7
27 . Demand for Fuente's cigars bearing the OPUS Marks far exceeds
supply, which is only approximately 600,000 to 700,000 cigars per year . Due to
limited supply, Fuente suggests that retailers limit the sale of FUENTE FUENTE
OPUS X cigars to two cigars per customer . Because of the popularity of the cigar,
it is not uncommon for FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X cigars to sell for much more
than the suggested retail price.
28 . Millions of Fuente's cigars bearing the OPUS Marks have been sold
in the U .S . since the mid-1990s .
29 . Many millions of dollars worth of cigars bearing the OPUS Marks
have been sold in the U .S . since 1995 .
have been regularly and extensively promoted throughout the U .S .
31 . Over five million dollars have been spent advertising and promoting
Fuente's cigars sold in association with the OPUS Marks in the United States since
1 995 .
32. Fuente's cigars bearing the OPUS Marks have been widely advertised
and promoted in the U .S . in many forms of media including radio, DVDs,
documentary films, all forms of printed publications and the Internet on behalf of
Fuente and by many others through unsolicited media coverage .
8
33 . Fuente's cigars bearing the OPUS Marks have been the subject of
extensive unsolicited media coverage, including in leading articles in Tobacconist
Magazine and Cigar Aficionado, as well as in such general publications as Forties
Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, The Robb Report, Black Enterprise, Maxim,
The Washington Post, Playboy, Selecta, Wine Spectator, Esquire, American Way
and many other national and local publications .
34. Fuente and its cigars sold in association with the OPUS Marks have
become so famous and well-known, even outside of the cigar industry, that they
have been the subject of, and the answer to, both a New York Times Sunday
crossword puzz le clue and a Jeopardy television game show question .
35 . Fuente's FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X marks and cigars have become
so popular and well-known that many in the industry simply refer to the cigars and
marks as "OPUS" or "OPUS X ." Examples of references to Fuente's FUENTE
FUENTE OPUS X cigars simply as "OPUS" or "OPUS X" are attached as Exhibit
B.
36. The shortened nicknames, OPUS and OPUS X, for the famous mark
and cigar FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X are recognized by those in the cigar
industry as identifying Fuente and its famous FUENTE FUENTE OPUS X cigars .
9
37 . Fuente's cigars bearing the OPUS Marks have also received extensive
attention on the Internet, including interactive discussions on Cigar Aficionado's
World Wide Web page.
have been promoted through cigar industry-wide trade shows and events such as
"Big Smokes" . "Big Smokes" are held 6-8 times a year and attract thousands of
cigar aficionados and consumers. In addition, because Fuente's cigars bearing the
OPUS Marks are so famous and in such high demand, Fuente's cigars bearing the
OPUS Marks are the subject of numerous charity events and auctions across the
U.S.
39. By reason of the advertisement and promotionn of Fuente's cigars
bearing the OPUS Marks, unsolicited media coverage, customer word-of-mouth,
and sales of the cigars, Fuente's OPUS Marks, - since long before Defendants' acts
complained of herein - have become some of the most famous and distinctive
marks in the cigar industry, and are recognized and relied upon by the trade and the
public as identifying Fuente and Fuente's products and as distinguishing them from
others and the goods of others .
40 . By reason of the advertisement and . promotion of Fuente's cigars
bearing the OPUS Marks, unsolicited media coverage, customer word-of-mouth,
10
and sales of cigars in association with the OPUS Marks, the purchasing public and
the cigar industry recognize that the common characteristic OPUS is indicative of
the common origin of Fuente's cigars and cigar related products.
41 . Fuente holds the only United States trademark registrations containing
the mark OPUS for cigars or cigars related goods in International Class 34 .
42. Upon information and belief, aside from Defendants, Fuente is the
only one that uses the mark OPUS in association with cigars in the United States .
43 . Because Fuente's United States trademark registrations are the only
registrations containing the mark OPUS for cigars or other goods in Class 34 , and
because Fuente is the only one legitimately using an OPUS mark in association
with cigars, Fuente is entitled to a broad scope of protection for its OPUS Marks .
44 . As result of the unsolicited media coverage, customer word-of-mouth,
sales, and the advertisement and promotion of its OPUS Marks, Fuente has
established tremendous goodwill, selling power and fame in and to its OPUS
Marks .
45 . In recent years, the cigar industry has experienced a "mini-boom" as
large numbers of young adults have become interested in cigars . These young
adults, who are primarily new to the cigar industry, often gather information about
cigars and purchase cigars via the Internet . Because these young adults are new to
11
the cigar industry and rely largely on the Internet for information and purchasing
cigars, rather than purchasing from traditional cigar stores or smoke-shops with
experienced proprietors, they are particularly susceptible to confusion as to the
source of cigars, especially when cigars are released bearing marks thatt are similar
to well established, popular brands .
B. Defendants' Actions
46. Defendants are offering for sale and selling cigars in association with
an OPUS mark. Photographs of Defendants' cigars sold in association with the
mark OPUS are shown in Exhibit C .
47 . Defendants' cigars sold in association with the mark OPUS have been
offered for sale and sold throughout in the United States in cigar stores and via the

and are sold to cigar smokers throughout the United States .

trademark rights in and to each of its OPUS Marks .

sale of cigars with full knowledge of Fuente's prior rights in its OPUS Marks with
the intent to trade upon the goodwill associated with those marks .
bl . Defendants' OPUS mark is confusingly similar to Fuente's OPUS
Marks .
62 . Defendants' use of the OPUS mark in association with cigars has
lessened the capacity of Fuente's famous and distinctive OPUS Marks to
distinguish and identify Fuente's cigars and related products from those of others,
thereby diluting the distinctive quality of its famous OPUS Marks .
63 . Defendants' use of the OPUS mark dilutes the strength of Fuente's
OPUS Marks to act as unique indicators of the source of Fuente's cigars in that
such use allows Defendants to take advantage of the fame and goodwill which are
14
associated with Fuente's OPUS Marks, enables others to pass off Defendants'
cigars as those of Fuente and takes the hard -earned reputation and goodwill
associated with Fuente's OPUS Marks out of Fuente's control and makes it
instead, subject to the quality standards of Defendants, thereby damaging Fuente .
64. Defendants adopted and are using the OPUS mark in bad faith with
intent to trade upon the goodwill and recognition of Fuente and its OPUS Marks .

Opus X Cigars
Arturo Fuente Opus X cigars are some of
the rarest, most sought after cigars in the
world, a fact that is validated by Cigar
Aficionado_ Opus X cigars are Dominican
Puro cigars, which is something that is
extremely hard to do, but that didn't stop
Arturo Fuente to create one of the first
ultra-premium cigars . Opus X cigars are
also unique in that they have been used as
somewhat of a marketing tool for Arturo
Fuente . There are a plethora of different
shapes and sizes of Opus X cigars that
were made in limited quality . Some
examples of these are the Opus X Dan
Marino Football Cigar, a astounding 6 x
160 (yes, 160) cigar that is shaped like a
football, with laces and all . The Sammy
Sosa Baseball Bat cigar is shaped like a baseball bat, and Opus X has also made a variety of culebra (which
means snake in Spanish) cigars, as well as various cigars for celebrities such as the Opus X Trump Tower
and the Opus X Crowning Glory (for Pope John Paul II) . Although these Opus X cigars were made in
extremely limited quantities (some less than a full box), the regular Opus X line is almost just as hard to get
your hands on . Retailing at above thirty dollars a stick, most who question the quality of an Opus X cigar
have yet to try one .
Opus X cigars have a silky, Rosado wrapper that is grown on Fuente's organic tobacco plantation, Chateau
de la Fuente . Located in a remote region in the Dominican Republic, this tobacco farm is situated in a
tropical river valley, which makes for ideal growing conditions . In the early 1990's, when the Fuente family
began planting their first crop of this exquisite wrapper, there were many skeptics in the cigar industry who
thought it couldn't be done . There had been many previous attempts to grow such a wrapper in the
Dominican Republic, and all had failed . The Fuente family knew what they were doing, and they achieved
the impossible . The original name for the tobacco crop was Project X, and the Fuente family chose the word
Opus to describe the unique wrapper . The word opus resonated with Carlos Fuente Jr . because he stated
that, " . . .the word 'opus'- meaning creative work, masterpiece, a work of a life time . It was perfect ."
Opus X cigars are medium-full bodied cigars, and although strong, are not overpowering . They are very
smooth cigars that can be described as having hints of spice, but an overall creaminess to them . We here at
BestCigarPrices .com do indeed carry the full line of Opus X cigars (minus the big boys described above),

More info about purchasing Opus_ X cigars ...
I've been waiting for such a long time to try one of the famous Opus X Dominican puros . It's quite
tricky to get one here but fortunately I happen to have some nice friends who recently had a trip to the
Dominican Republic . . . and I just had to ask them for a few sticks (Manisha and Robinson - thank you!) .
So here we go with this review of the Arturo Fuente Opus X Robusto 1992 Rare Estate Reserve . Let
me just say that it exceeded my expectations . Read on .
Appearance : Rating :
First of all, the tin . As you can see it 's beautiful and impressive (so is the band) . I hope their designer s
are well-paid because they definitely deserve a nice salary . The torcedores have made a very good job
just as well :. the stick is tightly rolled and the wrapper i s smooth and oily .

Ariuro Fuente Opus X Robusto 1992 Rare Estate Reserve Review @ Cigar Inspector Page 3 of 8
Construction :Rating. - T i q
The construction is high quality as well ; the draw was perfect, and the burn regular . This Opus X has the
longest ash I've ever seen - must be close to 2 inches (!) ; firm and not flaky at all .
Flavor : Rating : - 4 = -r :; -~
The beginning is as powerful as I expected . The first third boasts a very complex bouquet of flavors,
composed of precious wood , roasted arabica and , of course , spice . The bouquet is equal (if not superior)
to the best Cuban specimens . This fir s t third is very macho, powerful , not blended to be elegant . The
smoke i s soft and delicious (did I ment i on that the amounts of produced smoke are more than
respectable?) . The second third is mostly woody, a little bit les s complex that the 1 /3 probably to the
absence of coffee notes . Half-way through, I feel a mix of woody flavors (which come first), followed
by some sugary notes . The taste stays very long on the palate, it 's ama z ing . In the last third , there is a bit
less smoke but the flavors considerably gain in depth and inten s ity .

Value : Ratin g :
This tin is one of the best gifts I've ever received . The price tag on these ones is set quite high, all right,
but it clearly looks more like a gift item . So, make sure your wife/girlfriend reads this review :)
Overall Rating : Overall Rating : ` 1 i :, i

I couldn't find any downside to this cigar, however hard I tried . Just one thing - make sure you don't
pair it up with alcohol, especially wine - I am confident that the combination won't be great . A glass of
water will do . Happy smoking!

I, too, find that the very finest sticks require nothing more than a glass of cool spring water as an
accompaniment . Great review.

Glad you got the opportunity to try one . I certainly agree, the Opus X is one of the finest cigars
available . I do find that they combine well with a good coffee or espresso too!

I have to agree, it is one of the finest cigars I have tried . I paired it with my usual single malt scotch, the
buzz was a little bit too much in the last quarter of the cigar .

Fuente Fuente 4 us X Petit Lancero Wednesday, Mar 12 2008
A. Fuen.te and C i gar Reviews Matt 6 : 00 pm
Country : Dominican Republic

Wrapper: Dom i nican Rosado
Filler : Dominican
Size : 6 . 25" x 39 ring
Today, thank s to the generosity of my friends at CgarsDrect , c..o.. m. I am smoking one of the elus ive Opus X from the Fuente
Family. The Opus X line of cigars has garnered a lot o f accolades since it's introduction in 1995 . Opus X cigars routinely score
in the 90's in C igar Aficiando and Cigar Insider . That combined with some aggressive mark eting and limited supply has led to a
whol e lot of hype surrounding this scarce stogie . They sport a Dominican grown, reddish brown, Rosado wrapper which in the
case of the petit lancero is a little veiny and lumpy . The wrapper for these Dominican Puros are grown on the Chateau de la
Fuente Estate i n the DR and are reported to be cured in rum barrels . Once the cigars are rolled , they are aged for a year before
being sent to market .
This parti cular cigar is a short and slender lancero with a tapered head . I love lanceros . I think they are a connoi sseur ' s size and if
done right make for some of the most complex smokes you can get . It's small ring gauge that leaves no room for error though as
there isn't enough room in them to hide substandard tobacco . The Opu s X Petit Lancero starts off a little peppery but settles
down quickly. It's smooth with lots of caramel, and earth with a leathery finish . It is very complex medium to full bodied smoke .
I expected it to pack a stronger punch than it did though . The buzz factor was nice but not the reputed knock you to your seat
strength I heard and read from oth e rs . The flavors are very well defined making for an amazing smoking experience . The
construct i on is excellent, with a perfect draw and a razor straight bum . Those two things are not easy to accomplish when
making such a small ring gauge, and i t is a testament to the skill of the rollers the Fuentes have making these cigars . The a sh was
so well formed, it looked like a little piece of concrete hanging off the end of the cigar . Even though I was a little disappointed
with it's power, this is the best of all the Opus X vitolas I hav e tried so far . I am afraid its price tag relegates it to a spec i al
occasion smoke though .
