Drew Estate Expanding Kentucky Fire Cured, Updating MUWAT Look

Four new sizes of MUWAT Kentucky Fire Cured will be on display at the IPCPR convention and trade show when it opens on July 20. One is the already-announced Kentucky Fire Cured Flying Pig, but it will be joined by three other sizes: Delfinas (6 x 26), Kyotos (5 1/2 x 34) and Hamhock (3 3/4 x 56). 

The Kyotos will be sold in 10-count soft-packs, but the Delfinas are sold in 18-count tubes. While the MUWAT Kentucky Fire Cured and MUWAT Core Line are largely made at Fabrica de Tabacos Joya de Nicaragua S.A, the Delfinas and Flying Pig vitolas are made at Drew Estate. 

As for the original MUWAT line, it is now known as MUWAT Core Line. It will receive a new size in the form of the 4 1/2 x 50 Nightcrawler, a new name (MUWAT Core Line) and new packaging.
