I’ve seen this reported elsewhere, but since I had some history with the brand, I figure there’s no harm in passing this on. I might have an original Grimalkin made at the My Father factory (can I say that now?) around someplace.
I’ll be interested to see what the BLTC folks interpretation of this marque will be. – CC
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—Emilio Cigars announces the long anticipated return of Grimalkin.
Originally released in 2011, Grimalkin was widely acclaimed and became a breakout cigar for Emilio Cigars.
“Grimalkin was always a cigar that stood out in the Emilio portfolio. It was intriguing, so when Scott Zucca, owner of Emilio cigars, asked me to recreate a 2018 version, I was excited to do so. I like the theme and the style of cigar, it just needed an update and so we put our Oveja Negra spin on it. Since the cigar is a Nicaraguan Puro, my goal was to highlight the qualities I love about Nicaraguan tobacco. The blend is very spice forward with a lot of complexity and depth, balanced by a rich creamy finish,” said James Brown, owner of Fabrica Oveja Negra.
Grimalkin is available in 25 count boxes of Toro (6×50) and Robusto (5×50) vitolas with an MSRP of $10.00 and $9.80 respectively. The cigars will begin shipping in May 2018.
Emilio Cigars are distributed by Boutique Unified. For more information please contact Szucca@ljzucca.com
Evil Kitty! I liked the original with some age.
