Macanudo unveils a new addition to the Emissary España line: a box-pressed torpedo (6 x 52) vitola. This limited-edition release showcases the same sophisticated blend as the full-time cigar.
Macanudo Emissary España features a handful of incredibly rare tobaccos grown between 5 and 10 years. The highlight of the blend is a Havana seed tobacco grown in Riolobos, Spain. This is the first expansion of the Emissary lineup to date.
Macanudo Emissary España has an impressive makeup in both name and aging time. The five-country blend starts with a U.S. Connecticut Broadleaf Claro wrapper, aged five years, and then follows with a Nicaraguan Condega binder, aged six years. The blend consists of Dominican Piloto (aged five years), Colombian (aged five years), Nicaraguan ASP (aged six years), and Spanish tobacco (aged ten years).
Steve Abbot, director of marketing, said, “For the Emissary lineup, we really wanted to pull out all of the stops and craft a cigar that epitomizes European sophistication. We are really happy with the result, and based on the popularity of the cigar, we wanted to come out with another great offering. We landed on a box-pressed torpedo, which brings out the best blend for a smooth smoking experience that highlights the rare tobaccos within.”
Emissary España is available full-time in Robusto (5 x 54), Toro (6 x 52), Perfecto (6 x 54) and Churchill (7 x 48) Vitolas. Only 1,500 boxes of the box-pressed torpedo vitola will be available with an MSRP of $17.99. The cigars will ship to stores October 1.
