Marrero Cigar Co. Expands Tesoro Mio With Costa Rica Puro

At this year’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, Marrero Cigar Co. will be expanding its Tesoro Mio line with a new Costa Rican puro version.

Joel Vazquez-Marrero told halfwheel that this new version is milder than the original but has “tons of character–creamy and nutty with a hint of cedar.” He said that the new line is grown, aged and rolled on a single finca in Costa Rica called Tabacos de la Cordillera, providing what he called a unique opportunity to sample the best that Costa Rica has to offer.

The Tesoro Mio Box Press Costa Rica Puro is being released in three sizes, a 5 x 52 robusto, 6 x 52 toro and 6 x 52 torpedo, with pricing between $6.80 and $7.50 per cigar. As noted in the name, each is box-pressed and uses a Costa Rican Connecticut wrapper, Costa Rican Sumatra binder and Costa Rican habano filler and will come in 20-count boxes. Shipping is expected to begin in August and will be a regular production cigar, joining the Marrero Fuerete, Marrero Bellartes and Marrero Tico in the company’s offerings.

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.
