A new release from Big Sky Cigar Co. is named after a famous ribbon trout stream in Montana.

Blackfoot is a 6 x 54 toro grande made up of a Mexican San Andrés wrapper covering a binder and filler blend grown in the Dominican Republic. The cigar will have an MSRP of $15 and it will be packaged in 20-count boxes.

The new cigar will be the final blend in the company’s core Montana River Series, which also includes four previous releases: Bighorn 2.0, Bitterroot, Madison and Yellowstone. As is the case with the other blends in the series, Blackfoot gets its name from a river in the company’s home state of Montana. In this case, the impetus for the name was taken from the Blackfoot River, which runs for 75 miles through the western part of the state.

In an email, Brandon Brandon Marsh, vp of marketing and online sales at Big Sky Cigar, Co., told halfwheel that Blackfoot is scheduled to be released during the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which takes place July 8-11 in Las Vegas.

I have been smoking cigars for over eight years. A documentary wedding photographer by trade, I spent seven years as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram. I started the cigar blog SmokingStogie in 2008 after realizing that there was a need for a cigar blog with better photographs and more in-depth information about each release. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars. I am a co-founder of halfwheel and now serve as an editor for halfwheel.
