It’s a couple of letters, it’s a coupe of numbers; it’s a new Nomad.

This summer, Fred Rewey will release his latest cigar, Nomad SA-17. It’s the latest Nomad cigar to be produced at Abdel Fernández’s Tabacalera Fernandez S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.

SA stands for San Andrés, the Mexican wrapper that will be used on the cigar. Inside is all Nicaraguan filler. Rewey said he finalized the blend early last year and hopes to have it on shelves in June.

There are three size planned, though Rewey wouldn’t specify them or their pricing.
