The line extension is in the company’s Captain J.H.G. line, which already includes the 7 x 60 Cannon and the 7 x 60 Buccaneer piramide. The new vitola is the 5 1/4 x 62 Double Duke, which shares the same Ecuadorian wrapper covering a binder from Costa Rica as well as filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic , Honduras and Nicaragua. It is packaged in boxes of 16 and carries an MSRP of $26 each, with only 200 crocodile-wrapped boxes produced and expected to ship in September.

Graycliff New Packaging 

In addition to the new Captain J.H.G. release, Graycliff is introducing new packaging for each of its cigars. The new boxes now featured a piano finish exterior, a logo on the clasp that comes off to be used as a golf marker and interior trays that easily come out so that retailers can reorder cigars without replacing each individual box.

The new packaging is also expected to ship in September.

I have been smoking cigars for over eight years. A documentary wedding photographer by trade, I spent seven years as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram. I started the cigar blog SmokingStogie in 2008 after realizing that there was a need for a cigar blog with better photographs and more in-depth information about each release. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars. I am a co-founder of halfwheel and now serve as an editor for halfwheel.
