Cubariqueño Cigar Co. Slates Protocol John Doe 2.0 for July Release
Cubariqueño Cigar Co. has announced that its Protocol John Doe Series will get a follow-up release in July, the aptly-named John Doe 2.0.
Like its predecessor that came out in January 2019, no details about the cigar’s blend are being disclosed. What is being disclosed is that it is a 5 x 52 robusto produced at the La Zona Cigar Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
Also like its predecessor, the John Doe 2.0 will be a single store exclusive, heading to Omerta Cigar Co. in Oklahoma City. The store is scheduled to host an in-store release party on July 11, and will also offer the cigar via its website.
“We are excited and honored to have been selected by our great partners in the industry for this phenomenal release,” said Jarrett Jackson, managing partner at Omerta Cigar Co., via a press release. “We look forward to a great rollout event and being a part of Protocol’s rise in the industry especially here in the midwest.”
Pricing is set at $9.25 per cigar, or $92.50 for a 10-count bundle. A total of 225 bundles have been produced, and the company says that it will be a singular release, meaning that once it is sold out, no more will be produced.
The company has also released the Jane Doe Series, a project that also has an undisclosed blend and similar design to the John Doe Series.
Cubariqueño Cigar Co. is the creation of Juan Cancel and Bill Ives, both of whom come from a law enforcement background and who have brought that to the names of their cigars.

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.
