CigarKings Announces Dos Colores

CigarKings GmbH, a Munich-based cigar company, is planning a new barberpole cigar that will be shown off at this week’s InterTabac 2023 trade fair in Dortmund, Germany.

The CigarKing Dos Colores is a 6 x 43 corona gorda that features a barber pole design, meaning it has two different wrappers on a single cigar. In this case, both wrappers are from Los Ríos, Ecuador; one is a Connecticut-seed shade varietal and the other is a Sumatra-seed Colorado varietal. Underneath are two corojo binders from Jalapa, Nicaragua. The fillers are also from Nicaragua: corojo seco from Jalapa and habano 2000 viso from Estelí.

Barber pole wrappers refers to a process by which two wrappers, typically of different colors, are rolled together at a slight angle to produce an alternating design that looks like the stripes of a barber’s pole.

Pricing is set at €10 ($10.74) per cigar and production is limited to 300 boxes of 12 cigars. CigarKings says it is expects to begin shipping the cigars in November.

“The idea behind the Dos Colores was to provide our customers with a one-of-a-kind smoking experience that impresses both in taste and visually,” said Philipp Kugler, ceo of CigarKings, in a press release. “The combination of these two unique wrappers gives this cigar complexity and depth that make each draw a true delight.”

CigarKings makes its cigars at an undisclosed factory in Nicaragua.
