WHY THE NAME “EVIL WEEVIL”?
In the early 1900s, the boll weevil devastated cotton crops across the South, and farmers struggled to control the pest while the ‘evil weevil’ thrived. By 1909, the destruction had reached Enterprise, Alabama, severely impacting cotton yields. H.M. Sessions, a seed broker, saw an opportunity to introduce peanut cultivation to the area. Local farmers who switched to planting peanuts earned more money than they had with cotton. This success prompted other farmers to make the switch, transforming Coffee County into a leading peanut producer by 1919. The boll weevil’s devastation led to crop diversification in Enterprise, prompting the town to erect a series of statues in its honor to recognize how this lil’ pest drove big innovation and adaptability.
The company notes:
The ‘Evil Weevil’ comes in two vitolas a petit corona, and a corona. Don’t let the smaller size fool you, these lil’ cigars pack a bit of a punch and are full of complex flavors! Enjoy notes of leather, fresh roasted coffee, white pepper, citrus, with a touch of baking spices on the finish.
