La Sirena will be lightening its profile up a bit in the coming weeks, as the company has announced a new addition to its portfolio that uses an an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper and features a bright yellow color scheme.

La Sirena LT Singles

The La Sirena LT is being made at El Paraiso, the Plasencia-owned factory in Honduras. Underneath the wrapper is a Nicaraguan habano binder, while the filler is a blend of Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos. Danny Ditkowich of La Sireana calls the cigar light to medium bodied, with a very creamy smoke texture.

It will be available in three sizes, a robusto (5 x 52, $8.80), toro (6 x 52, $9.40) and gordo (6 x 60, $9.90). Each size will come in 20-count boxes.

Ditkowich told halfwheel that he expects the cigars to arrive in the U.S. on April 3, which should have them on retail shelves by the middle of April.

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 MLB.com, 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.
