At the beginning of 2023, Artesano Del Tobacco announced the release of the highly anticipated EL Pulpo cigar line, a project that had been in development for years. The name “EL Pulpo,” which means “The Octopus” in Spanish, symbolizes versatility and complexity, which perfectly defines these cigars. Everything began in 2016 when the Artesano Del Tobacco team sought the expertise of renowned cigar maker AJ Fernandez to bring their project to life. Through innovative blending techniques, unique fermentation processes, and meticulous aging methods, AJ Fernandez created a cigar that promises an unforgettable smoking experience.
The blend features a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, with binder and filler tobaccos sourced from AJ Fernandez’s plantations in Nicaragua. These cigars are medium to full-bodied, offering rich notes of coffee beans, nuts, spices, and dark chocolate. They are made at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory in Nicaragua.
