ARTISTA CIGARS BEGINS SHIPPING OF “HARVEST & MIDNIGHT” CIGARS TO RETAILERS.
(Tamboril, Dominican Republic) – Artista Cigars, formerly El Artista Cigars, begins shipping Artista Series Cigars to U.S. Retailers today, June 15, 2023. The Artista Series is Artista Cigars flagship brand and represents years of dedication to make blends that represent the company’s new direction.
“We are excited to finally deliver Artista to our patient retailer partners; it took us a bit longer than anticipated to get this brand to retailers but we believe the final product was worth the wait,” states Radhames “Ram” Rodriguez, President of Artista Cigars.
ARTISTA HARVEST & MIDNIGHT
ARTISTA Midnight (Dark Blue) is a full-bodied cigar and features a Dark Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. An Ecuadorian Connecticut shade binder offers sweetness and the filler tobaccos from Nicaragua, DR, and USA impart deep, rich, earthy notes of coffee, spice, and chestnut with a citrus finish.
ARTISTA Harvest (Yellow-Gold) is a medium bodied blend featuring a supple, top-grade Sumatra wrapper, a flavorful Habano Seco binder, and a proprietary Dominican filler blend that is unlike anything ever offered with notes of spice, rich honey, bright elderberry, and earthy cashew and almond.
Artista Studio Works is an outlet for creative or one-off endeavors. States Radhames Rodriguez: “Up to now we have used Artista Studio Works to showcase Dominican Artists with cool cigar-inspired artworks and goods such as humidors and wall art. We still plan to do that, however going forward
we will also utilize Artista Studio Works as a place to show off our weird side”. Artista Studio Works Paperboy is one step in that direction.
ASW Paperboy is a newspaper-wrapped bundle of 8 Petite Coronas. The newspaper bundle wrap features wild stories of factory folklore and totally “fake news” stories completely in Spanish. States Kevin Newman: “PaperBoy is a throw-back to a time when we got our news delivered to our doorstep every day, and in some places, twice on Sunday. It’s a brand of nostalgia and it’s fun”.
ASW Paperboy is offered in one size, 4×44 Petite Corona, and in two wrappers: Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade and San Andres Maduro; the binder and fillers are the same in both. MSRP is $24.50 for each 8-CT bundle. ASW Paperboy will be for sale at PCA 2022 in Las Vegas and available to retailers the first week of August 2022.
