Emilio Grimalkin Halloween Edition Heading to Retail
Emilio Cigars has a new cigar en route to retailers in celebration of the upcoming Halloween festivities, the aptly named Grimalkin Halloween Edition.
The cigar replaces the regular version’s wrapper with a Nicaraguan-grown maduro leaf, covering a Nicaraguan habano binder and Nicaraguan filler. It is being released in a single 5 x 50 vitola priced at $9.75 per cigar. A total of 300 boxes of 25 cigars are being produced by Fabrica Oveja Negra in Estelí, Nicaragua, a total of 7,500 cigars.
The Grimalkin line dates back to 2011, when Emilio Cigars released a Nicaraguan puro produced at the My Fathers Cigars S.A. factory named Grimalkin, after an archaic term for an old, gray, female cat. That name lasted just about a year before it was replaced by Mousa and the cigar moved to a new series dubbed La Musa by Emilio Cigars.
In April 2018, Scott Zucca, owner of Boutiques Unified and Emilio, unveiled plans to bring back the Grimalkin brand by way of a Nicaraguan puro made at Black Label Trading Co’s Fabrica Oveja Negra. That line includes a 5 x 50 robusto and 6 x 50 toro.

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.
