El Artista Cigars to Launch Buffalo TEN at IPCPR 2019
El Artista Cigars has announced Buffalo TEN, a new price-friendly line that it will debut at the upcoming IPCPR Convention & Trade Show.
The cigar comes in a single 6 x 50 toro vitola and uses a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper over a Dominican negrito binder and fillers from the USA and Colombia, as well as Dominican tobacco grown in El Artista’s fields, namely a T-13 hybrid leaf. The binder is also grown by El Artista.
“We feel this is the beginning of a great flagship product line for us,” said Radhames ‘Ram’ Rodriguez, president of El Artista Cigars, via a press release. “Not only does it smoke great but the whole package looks amazing. We have developed something that we feel cannot be beat.”
The cigar comes with a single-stick MSRP of $4.50, while five-count paper wrapped packs are priced at $22.50. The company is also offering two display options to retailers, a wooden retail shelf that hold five of the packs, or a 40-count retail bundle tray. “We are experimenting with Buffalo TEN in terms of packaging options and a great low price point that we feel is attractive to both consumers and the brick & mortar retailer,” said Rodriguez.
“Buffalo TEN truly demonstrates the strengths of El Artista,” added Kevin Newman, director of sales & marketing, via a press release. “The factory team worked with us to source some of the best tobaccos available and integrate a few factory-exclusives for a phenomenal blend at an incredible price”.
Buffalo TEN is scheduled to begin shipping during the second week of July.

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, the G-League's Valley Suns, 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.
