Artesano Del Tobacco is thrilled to announce the launch of its latest addition to celebrated EL Pulpo cigar line: the new EL Pulpo Lancero, affectionately named “THE EEL”. This exquisite pigtail Lancero measures a refined (7 X 38) round and the company will start shipping to cigar stores nationwide on Tuesday
February 18th 2025.
“The EEL” maintains the same beloved blend as the original EL Pulpo cigars:
- Wrapper – Rich Mexican San Andreas Maduro
- Binder – Nicaraguan
- Filler – Nicaraguan
What sets this new size apart is a unique fermentation process for both the wrapper and binder, enhancing the sweetness and roasting elements of its already vibrant flavor profile. Crafted meticulously at AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua, each cigar promises an elevated smoking experience.
Encased in a beautifully designed wooden box that mirrors the original EL Pulpo packaging, each box holds ten perfectly rolled Lancero cigars. The company has set an MSRP of $16.50/cigar.
Billy, Bass & Gus of Artesano Del Tobacco stated:
“We owe our success to our loyal consumers. Based on the overwhelming support and high ratings of THE El Pulpo blend, we reached out to our fans for their input on what size they would like next. The majority expressed their desire for a Lancero that showcases the beauty of our San Andreas Maduro wrapper. We believe they are absolutely right; this size not only celebrates but highlights our well-aged San Andreas Maduro wrapper.”
