262 Plans Roadhouse for IPCPR 2015
Clint Aaron let the cat out of the bag.
The 262 Cigars founder creatively showed off one of the company’s newest releases, trying to hide the cigar’s name, 262 Roadhouse.
In an e-mail to halfwheel, Aaron said that details were still being finalized but that the regular production cigar is slated for release at the 2015 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, which will take place this July in New Orleans, La. The cigar will be made at Tabacalera Carreras in Estelí, Nicaragua and is currently on target to be offered in three sizes: corona, robusto and box-press toro. According to Aaron, it will use an Ecuadorian habano oscuro wrapper, Connecticut broadleaf binder and filler tobaccos from the Estelí and Jalapa regions of Nicaragua.
Update: Added blend info.
