El Mago Shipping Solstice This Month
This month, El Mago Cigars will be shipping a new release to retailers named Solstice.
The new limited edition is a 6 x 48 “thin toro” made with a Nicaraguan Sumatra-seed wrapper covering an Ecuadorian habano binder and a filler blend made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco.
The MSRP is set at $12 per cigar and it will come packaged in individual round tubes with 14 cigars in each box. Nick Fusco, founder of El Mago Cigars, there will only be 1,000 boxes of Solstice released when the cigars ship to retailers this month.
Fusco launched El Mago in 2o22 to honor his grandparents, Maria and Gonzalo Torre, who died in the collapse of Champlain Towers South in Surfside, Fla. The company’s debut lines are inspired by Maria and Gonzalo. For example, Pepe was Gonzalo’s nickname and Místico, Spanish for mystical, references the magic between Gonzalo and Maria.
As is the case with all of El Mago’s cigars, the Solstice is made at Miguel Pinto’s MGE Cigars Factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

I have worn many hats in my life up to this point: I started out as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, then transitioned to photographing weddings—both internationally and in the U.S.—for more than a decade. After realizing that there was a need for a cigar website containing better photographs and more in-depth information about each release, I founded my first cigar blog, SmokingStogie, in 2008. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars, and it was one of the predecessors to halfwheel, which I co-founded.
