Lure Cigars has announced the release of “The Slim Jim” the latest drop in the ‘Catch & Release’ series of premium cigars, in very limited quantities, at a great price. Lure Cigars brings people together through ‘Tackle & Tobacco’ and encourages cigar enthusiasts to ‘Smoke Great Cigars & Tell Tall Tales.’ ™
“The Slim Jim” features a dark and delicious Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a binder from Esteli and a selection of premium Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, including Jalapa, and Ometepe ligero. The strength of this cigar is medium-full, and that power is matched in flavor. Your palate will encounter notes of dark roast coffee with a hint of sweetness, freshly tanned leather, pleasant baking spices, along with a bit of black peppercorn on the retrohale.
After the success of the annual release of “The Last Cast,” Lure Cigars wanted to offer another Connecticut Broadleaf cigar in a different format. The thinner profile of “The Slim Jim” in a Lonsdale vitola brings out the signature Broadleaf flavors with a higher wrapper to filler ratio, but don’t let the smaller ring gauge fool you, this cigar offers a lot of smoke with a perfect draw. The name Jim is a family name shared with the late grandfathers, brother, and brother-in-law of the owner.
Lou Cross, Owner of Lure Cigars stated:
“Like in fishing, you can’t always keep what you catch, sometimes the fish is too small, or it’s out of season. It’s fun to catch them and let them go. The ‘Catch & Release’ program is designed to give fellow enthusiasts a chance to smoke something incredible, at a great price. But also serves to test new sizes and blends. I appreciate the feedback from smokers as it helps in the development of future projects. Be sure to get your hooks on some before they’re gone…as I like to say, ‘Smoke the Few That Got Away’.”
“The Slim Jim” is offered in one vitola: (6.5 x 42) Lonsdale with an MSRP of $11.00/cigar ($55.00/5-pack). production is limited to 1,800 cigars.
