New addition to the family

From what I can find on Google, Fuego Cubano Corp was a tobacconist company in CA that closed up. They also did some rolling of custom cigars, perhaps a house blend or something. I would guess they custom ordered this humidor (and more like it) for a lounge or retail shop. Brand identity you know?

I've seen major manufacturers (Altadis and General come to mind) place display humidors in shops to showcase a particular line of cigars. Typically they come with a package deal where you buy so many boxes of the showcase line and you get the display unit free with it.

Typically they claim to want the unit back when you stop carrying the lines, but in my experience they could care less. It costs Altadis less to buy a new humidor than it could cost in shipping to move the one we had to another shop.
