Kingmakers & Midland Collaborate on Palomino Longneck
Kingmakers Cigars has teamed up with country music stars Midland for a new cigar called Palomino Longneck.
It is a 6 x 54 box-pressed toro that uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper, a binder from Nicaragua’s Estelí region, and fillers from Nicaragua’s Condega and Jalapa regions. The company describes it as offering a subtle cacao richness and suitable for pairing with Insólito tequila, which Midland launched in 2020. The cigars are produced at MGE Cigars Factory in Estelí.
“This collaboration embodies the essence of classic country style intertwined with sophisticated indulgence,” the company said in a press release “Palomino is more than just a cigar; it’s a testament to the timeless spirit of country music and the art of refined craftsmanship. Perfect for those who appreciate the elegance of a well-crafted cigar and the rugged charm of the country lifestyle.”
The cigars are named as a tribute to the Palomino Club, a now-closed country music venue in North Hollywood, Calif., as well as the band’s song “Longneck Way to Go.”
The cigars are currently available through Kingmakers’ website but are scheduled to become available at retailers in the near future. Pricing is set at $13.75 per cigar and $275 for a box of 20 cigars.
Earlier this year, Kingmakers Cigars released a cigar with WNBA star Kelsey Plum.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
