Crux Passport Half Corona & No. 4 Shipping Today
More than 10 months after they were announced, Crux Cigars is finally shipping two additional vitolas in its Passport line.
According to posts on Crux’s Instagram page, both the Passport Half Corona (4 x 42, $5.99) and the No. 4 (4 7/8 x 47, $6.99) are in Miami and will begin shipping to retailers today. Both of the new vitolas debuted at the 2014 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, but have been delayed until now.
Like the rest of the Passport line, the Half Corona and No. 4 incorporate a habano wrapper from Ecuador, a binder from the Jalapa Valley in Nicaragua as well as filler tobaccos from Nicaragua. The two new sizes joining a trio of already released vitolas: Lancero (7 x 40, $6.99), Corona Gorda (5 1/2 x 44, $5.99) and Toro (6 x 48, $7.99). All five cigars are sold in boxes of 20 and are rolled at Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Nicaragua.
The Passport No. 4 features Crux’s a rounded Marblehead cap, one similar to that found on the Cuban 109 vitola, while the Half Corona includes both a covered foot and a pigtail cap.

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. 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, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
