Chinnock Cellars to Unveil Boudoir at IPCPR 2018
Brian Chinnock of Chinnock Cellars is set to unveil a new cigar geared towards the ladies at the upcoming IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, and it’s called Boudoir.
His selection of a Connecticut wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Honduras, results in a mild to medium strength cigar, Chinnock told halfwheel. He’s releasing it as a 5 x 40 corona vitola priced at $10 and packed in 10-count boxes. He’s limiting the project 200 boxes, with production handled by JRE Tobacco Co. in Honduras, and expects to have the cigar on shelves in time for the winter holiday season. He also added that each box will be signed and individually numbered.
“In trying to appeal to the first time or casual lady smoker, I wanted to design a cigar that was small in size and medium to light in strength,” Chinnock said. He picked the name because of its French origins, which have been used for his other releases that get their names from French words related to the winemaking industry, as he is also a winemaker in the Napa Valley.

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.
