Who says that only Cuban cigar masters can produce an outstanding puro cigar? And where is it written that only Cuban tobacco is worthy of being made into a puro? General Cigar debunks these notions with a new Honduran puro from Don Tomás.
Called Don Tomás Sungrown, this collection features 100% Honduran tobacco grown in Jamastran and cultivated exclusively for this cigar by General Cigar.
Don Tomás Sungrown is a medium bodied cigar made with a rich, Honduran Jamastran wrapper, a flavorful Honduran binder and a savory Honduran blend. The result is a big, round, deeply satisfying taste with intriguing hints of sweet and spicy flavors.
Cooper Gardiner, General Cigar's vice president of marketing comments, "We are pleased to present Don Tomás Sungrown, one of the finest examples of a stand-out Honduran cigar. Don Tomás Sungrown features the highest quality Honduran wrapper, binder and filler tobaccos that took years to blend into a truly unique cigar. Combine the accessible price with the smoothness of Don Tomás Sungrown and the result is a Honduran puro that we predict will be a very successful addition to General Cigar's portfolio."
The five-cigar collection becomes available this month, and orders will be taken during RTDA. All five frontmarks are packaged in boxes containing 25 cigars each.
Both the Rothschild (4 ½" x 50) frontmark and the Cetro # 2 (6 ½" x 4) frontmark will sell for $3.70 per cigar or $92.50 per box. The brand's Robusto (5 ½" x 50) will carry an SRP of $3.20 per cigar, or $80.00 per box. At 7 ½" x 50, Presidente will sell for $4.10 apiece, or $102.50 per box. Gigante measures
6" x 60 and will carry an SRP of $5.00 per cigar, with a box price of $125.
Don Tomás cigars are produced by General Cigar Co., Inc., which manufactures and markets handcrafted cigars for the premium market. Committed to delivering cigars of the finest quality, General Cigar produces Macanudo®, Partagas®, Cohiba®, Punch®, Excalibur®, Hoyo de Monterrey® and several other leading premium brands. In addition, the company grows its own premium Connecticut Shade wrapper tobacco, as well as natural and candela wrapper in the Dominican Republic. General Cigar also operates Club Macanudo®, a cigar bar in New York City. Based in New York City, General Cigar sells through tobacconists nationwide.
