April ‘24 Release

“El Pulpo”

Created by AJ Fernandez and released by Artesano del Tobacco in 2023, this Mexican San Andrés wrapped cigar was aged longer than most Mexican wrappers. The result; a bold cigar with brilliant balance. Coffee, dark chocolate, nuts and citrus stand out most in this great cigar. #10 on Cigar Aficionado’s list in 2023!

Strength: Full

Wrapper: Mexican San Andrés

Binder: Nicaragua

Filler: Nicaragua

Chogui Dos77

The Dos77 is back on the market. Not a brand new blend, but a revised Dominican puro. This blend includes some piloto mejorado tobacco, a rare part of the tobacco plant, not found in every crop. Blended by Chico Rivas, this is a must try cigar.

Strength: Medium

Wrapper: Dominican Sungrown Corojo

Binder: Dominican

Filler: Dominican

Viaje C-4

The shape of the C-4 is unique in that it’s supposed to reflect the plastic explosive, Composition-4. This is the second Viaje cigar to have double closed ends. The first was the 2011 Zombie. This cigar has a pinhole in the foot to allow some of the moisture to escape.

Strength: Medium+

Wrapper: Nicaraguan Corojo 99

Binder: Nicaraguan

Filler: Nicaraguan

Nuevo Comienza Exclusiva

This Paul Stulac Exclusiva is a medium to full body strength cigar, but unlike the Limitada, it has a nice spice component! A Nicaraguan made cigar blended using a USA Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper, Nicaraguan (Jalapa) binder, and Nicaraguan fillers. This cigar comes in a 5 1/2 X 54 soft box-pressed Robusto.

Strength: Medium+

Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf

Binder: Corojo 99

Filler: Nicaraguan

The King’s Gold Cigar

The King’s Gold Cigar this month is the 1491. This cigar is what happens when you take the original Dominican Corojo tobacco and simply make a cigar with it. This is the closest possible modern interpretation of what the great Taíno people, native to the Caribbean, were smoking before Columbus arrived. To smoke the 1491 is to share an experience with people who lived centuries and millennia ago.

Strength: Medium+

Wrapper: Dominican Corojo

Binder: Dominican Corojo

Filler: Dominican Corojo
