Here’s the second and last news item of the evening, this one coming from Stogie Road Cigars™. For those, unfamiliar, read on. I can tell you a little something about the factory that isn’t mentioned in the press release, this is the factory that produces the Veritas cigar, which is another small, but up and coming brand. The brand has been around for a while, I remember meeting the Veritas guys a while ago at one of the Delaware Cigar Festivals, I believe they have roots in Delaware. I’ve enjoyed Kerr’s Sweet Grass Gringo in the past, and look forward to sampling his new iterations.
Stogie Road Cigars™ is proud to announce some notable changes have been finalized for 2021.
The company’s production of its four core blends will be produced at Tabacalera Nuevo Nica SA, located in Esteli, Nicaragua.
“There will be a longer period of time than initially expected where product is not available except for what is remaining on store shelves. The four blends have been reworked, or as I like to say they’ve been remastered and will make for worthwhile wait and experience for our customers. We have not just rebranded our core line but created a new look from packaging to new cigar bands. Stogie Road Cigars™ and Tabacalera Neuvo Nico SA, will create a Journey for our customers as they travel on the Stogie Road.” said Kerry (Viajante) Horney, owner and founder of Stogie Road Cigars™
“Kerry has a passion for tobacco which is apparent in how he’s approaching his current blends and his blends to come. Adding that he’s a barber pole extraordinaire peaked my interest even more. It is a pleasure and an honor to work with Kerry and his brand in this endeavor.” Chris Weber owner of Tabacalera Nuevo Nica SA.
The core blends consist of all barber-pole style cigars and will be available in a 6X50 vitola.
You will see and taste the difference in the construction and flavor as these blends are reworked from the original blend.
The flagship EdiciónXXXV will remain a cigar that the novice and experienced cigar smoker will enjoy providing a transition between creamy cedar to a peppery finish from the Nicaraguan Ligero.
The Big Tony, named after Kerr’s father, will have big flavor. Nicaraguan fillers and binder housed under a Habano Maduro and Mexican San Andres wrapper.
The Sweet Grass Gringo™ will be produced with some of the most flavorful and beautiful candela. More bold than the original blend while keeping its sweet grassy notes
The SanDela will use the same vibrant and tasty candela partnered with a Mexican San Andres wrapped about a bold binder and filler consisting of Nicaraguan and Dominican filler.
Stogie Road Cigars™ plans to keep its portfolio pricing the same, between $9.00 and $12.00 msrp.
Stogie Road Cigars will continue to support and fight for small business owned boutique brands. Kerry has and will continue hosting his weekly Vlog on Facebook. His show is entering the 5th year, Thursday nights, 7:30pm EST on the Viajante’s Stogie Road Facebook page.
