Cubariqueño Adding Corona Gorda to Protocol Official Misconduct at IPCPR 2019
At the 2019 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, Cubariqueño Cigar Co. will have a second corona gorda vitola going into regular production, as today the company announced the addition of the Protocol Official Misconduct Corona Gorda, a 5 5/8 x 46 vitola.
It becomes the second size in the line, joining the original 6 x 50 toro vitola in which the line debuted in May 2018. Like that vitola, it uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí and Jalapa. The line is made at La Zona Cigar Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
The cigar is priced at $9.95 and comes packaged in 10-count boxes. A limited number of the cigars were released on June 1 as part of the company’s fourth anniversary celebration.
Recently, the company announced that it would be making the Protocol Themis Corona Gorda a national, ongoing release after debuting as an limited edition exclusive to Famous Smoke Shop.
Update (June 16, 2019) — The company confirmed that the cigar will begin shipping immediately after the trade show.

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 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.
