Epic Sends Northern Comfort to Canada

Canada is getting an exclusive release from Epic Cigars.

The Epic Northern Comfort is a 6 x 54 toro extra that uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Dominican binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers.

It debuted last month with 100 bundles of 10 cigars, though there will be boxes coming in September. Pricing is set at $16 CAD ($12.22) per cigar.

Dean Parsons, Epic’s founder, told halfwheel that the company plans two additional sizes for the line, though those have not been finalized.

The cigar was rolled at Tabacalera Von Eiken S.R.L. in the Dominican Republic. Epic Cigars is distributed in Canada by Alec Bradley Canada.
