Back in 2011, 7-20-4 Cigars released a line called the 1874 Series that paid tribute to the year that the original 7-20-4 Cigar Company was founded by R.G. Sullivan in Manchester, N.H. This year, the brand’s current owner, Kurt A. Kendall, is giving the line a new look and adding two new sizes to both of which he will have featured at the upcoming IPCPR Convention & Trade Show.

As far as the lineup, the company is adding a Toro Especial and Gordo Especial, while the Torpedo Especial that was seen at the 2018 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show is gone.

The line now sits at five sizes, all of which are regular production:

  • 7-20-4 1874 Series Corona Especial (5 1/2 x 42) — $10.50 (Box of 20, $210)
  • 7-20-4 1874 Series Robusto Especial (5 1/4 x 52) — $11 (Box of 20, $220)
  • 7-20-4 1874 Series Toro Especial (6 x 52) — $12 (Box of 20, $240)
  • 7-20-4 1874 Series Gordo Especial (6 x 60) — $13.50 (Box of 20, $270)
  • 7-20-4 1874 Series Lancero Especial (7 1/2 x 38) — $10.50 (Box of 20, $210)

The updated 7-20-4 1874 Series is made at Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua and is scheduled to begin shipping to retailers in September.

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, the G-League's Valley Suns, 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.
