Ferndale, Mich.-based retailer Secreto Cigar Bar has started selling a new 10-count sampler from Dapper Cigar Co. named Dapper “As F$$K.”
The sampler is priced at $139 each and includes 10 different cigars in the same 5 5/8 x 46 corona gorda format, as well as a Dapper-branded dual-flame lighter and a sticker. There were only 300 total samplers produced.
Each sampler includes one 5 5/8 x 46 corona gorda of the following blends
- Cubo Sumatra
- Desvalido
- Desvalido – Disla
- El Borracho Connecticut Broadleaf
- El Borracho Crudo
- El Borracho San Andrés
- La Madrina Connecticut Shade
- La Madrina Habano
- Siempre Rosado
- Siempre Sun Grown
Of the 10 cigars in the sampler, seven are regular production cigars that can be purchased outside of the sampler, while the El Borracho Connecticut and El Borracho San Andrés Corona Gordas can only be purchased via the sampler.
The final cigar in the sampler is a pre-release of Dapper’s newest line named El Borracho Crudo. In an email, Ian Reith, founder of Dapper Cigars, declined to give any other information about the blend at this time other than to confirm that it is “a higher nicotine, more full-bodied El Borracho…(with) a multi-country blend in the fillers.”
He did tell halfwheel that all of the cigars in the sampler were rolled at the Nicaragua American Cigars S.A. (NACSA) factory in Estelí, meaning El Borracho Crudo is made at NACSA.
According to Reith, the El Borracho Crudo may be shown off during the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which takes place next week in Las Vegas, but the release may be postponed “due to packaging delays.”
