El Pulpo Robusto Grande Cigar (5 x 56)

El Pulpo "the octopus" by Artesano Del Tobacco, is a cigar crafted at AJ Fernandez's San Lotano Factory in Nicaragua that lives up to its name. Brand owners Billy and Gus Fakih "wanted a blend that fits people's palates the way an octopus fits in different shapes, spaces, and becomes that shape; a blend that becomes hard for any smoker to put down once they light up, like an octopus that doesn't let go of its prey." To achieve this, they utilized a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper that required a much longer aging period than usual for Mexican wrappers. The binder and filler are Nicaraguan leaves from AJ Fernandez's Nicaraguan estate farms, creating a full-bodied smoke that won't be easy to put down. It's available in five vitolas: Robusto Grande, Toro Grande, Belicoso Grande, Culebra, and a Perfecto. Offered here is the Robusto Grande.
