The newest addition to the Karen Berger Cigars portfolio is a collaboration between Karen Berger and her Vice President of Sales, Bruce Busch, and it is called Tailgate. This cigar was designed to be enjoyed in all 4 seasons while you and your crew are tailgating outside a ball game or concert and spending time with friends and loved ones.
The blend is something special. The wrapper is a Sumatra leaf of the highest quality, and it surrounds filler and binder from Esteli Cigars SA where it is made. Nicaraguan interior and Sumatran on the outside makes for a beautiful, refreshing blend with notes of fruit and nuts and hay to pair perfectly with your hop-centric concoction to give your interior shade from the sun. During the colder months, Tailgate pairs perfectly with a nice scotch and especially an Irish Whiskey.
Tailgate comes in one vitola, a 6 x 52 round toro and the cigar has a MSRP of $7.75 a cigar and $108.50 for a box of 14. Fourteen cigars signifies two touchdowns. The box will be designed after a classic truck and the tailgate of the truck will drop down to let you in for your smoke.
The company expects these to hit the shelves this month June 2023.
