Cigar Co has released a five-pack of its box-pressed, obelisk-shaped La
Gloria Cubana Artesanos de Obelisco for the holidays.
The
third installment of the La Gloria Cubana Artesanos series, the
Obelisco debuted in the summer of 2010 and has since been sold in
unique, fan-shaped boxes of 25. The design is inspired by the Monument
to the Heroes of the Restoration high atop the center of Santiago in the
Dominican Republic.
The
oddly-shaped cigars, which scored 90 points in the last issue of Cigar
Insider, now come in a more convenient package, and with a suggested
retail of $45.
The
cigars measure 5 inches by 57 ring at their widest, tapering to just 44
ring at the pointed head. They are made with Ecuadoran Sumatra
wrappers, Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, and Connecticut Broadleaf
binders.
