ACE Prime and Crowned Heads announced the launch of the Pichardo Maduro today. The story of this cigar draws on the life and experience of its namesake – Don. Eradio Pichardo.
A fourth-generation tobacconist and heir to more than a century and a half of knowledge in the world of tobacco, Don Pichardo worked for Habanos SA (Cuba) for many years and became known as being responsible for the Partagas Blends such as Series E, and D.
After leaving Cuba, he established himself in Nicaragua in 2005 and then became the co-founding partner of Tabacalera Pichardo, together with Luciano Meirelles.
Luciano himself notes:
“I’m very proud of our aging process and our ability to produce this smooth Maduro. Only Pichardo could produce such a clean and smooth experience.“
The Pichardo-Maduro has a blend described as:
- Wrapper: Arapiraca – Brazil
- Binder :Nicaragua
- Filler: Nicaragua
Packaged in 20-count boxes, the Pichardo-Maduro is expressed in a single (6.5 x 50) Box Pressed vitola. This Medium to full strength cigar is a new addition to the Pichardo Clasico. MSRP has been set at $9.50/cigar and these will be shipping to retailers later this month (August 2020)
ACE Prime Cigars are exclusively distributed by Crowned Heads including the Pichardo line that has become a favorite for many cigar lovers. ACE Prime & Crowned Heads offers two lines of cigars in the Pichardo brand – Pichardo Reserva Familiar and Pichardo Clasico.
