Domain Cigars, a new company founded by Esteban Disla and Daniel Lance, has begun shipping its two debut lines, Neutron and Negentropy.

Neutron is described as a medium-intensity blend that uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, a dual binder of Nicaraguan tobacco, and fillers from Nicaragua’s Condega and Pueblo Nuevo regions.

Negentropy uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper, a double binder of Nicaraguan tobacco, and filler from Nicaragua’s Condega region. The company says that this blend is “fused with high energy, that culminates in a clean finish while delivering impactful intensity.” The name of the line references reverse entropy, or the process of things becoming more orderly.

There are plenty of sizes to choose from, as both lines are being offered in the same nine sizes:

  • Neutron / Negentropy Revlent (4 x 52) — $9.99 (Box of 20, $199.80)
  • Neutron / Negentropy Robusto Extra (5 x 52) — $11.49 (Box of 20, $229.80)
  • Neutron / Negentropy Toro (6 x 50) — $11.49 (Box of 20, $229.80)
  • Neutron / Negentropy Robusto Gordo (5 x 56) — $11.99 (Box of 20, $239.80)
  • Neutron / Negentropy Box Press Toro Gordo (6 x 56) — $12.49 (Box of 20, $249.80)
  • Neutron / Negentropy Box Press Correlation (5 x 56) — $12.49 (Box of 20, $249.80)
  • Neutron / Negentropy Box Press Neural Plasticity (4 1/2 x 60) — $12.49 (Box of 20, $249.80)
  • Neutron / Negentropy Belicoso Shaggy His Excellency (5 x 54) — $13.99 (Box of 20, $279.80)
  • Neutron / Negentropy Simulation (6 x 60) — $14.49 (Box of 20, $289.80)

Both cigars are produced at Tabacalera Familia Disla S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.

Domain has also created a third blend called No7B that was included with a sampler sent to those retailers, which the company says could become a commercially released line in the future.

Update — Shortly after this story was published, the company clarified that it is not limiting sales to 100 retailers as originally stated.

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.
