The newest size of Juárez is heading to stores.
Crowned Heads has announced that it is beginning to ship the Bulls on Parade Fresh Pack, a five-count sampler that contains one of the four core sizes of Juárez as well as new size that is exclusive to the sampler. That new vitola is Ferdinand, a 4 x 58 parejo vitola. It is made at the TacaNicsa factory using a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.
Each sampler contains one of the following:
- Juárez Willy Lee (6 x 54)
- Juárez Chihuahua (5 1/2 x 48)
- Juárez Jack Brown (5 x 56)
- Juárez OBS (4 3/4 x 52)
- Juárez Ferdinand (4 x 58)
The MSRP is $29.95 per sampler. The bags of the sampler include humidification and a resealable closure.
Júarez, the line, is inspired by Jonny Cash’s performance of “Cocaine Blues.” The other vitolas’ names are all references to parts of the song and the story it tells The Ferdinand size comes with a red ribbon around the foot that is designed to mimic the red cape of a bullfighting matador.
