Freud Cigar Co. Ships Agape
After a delay of several months, Freud Cigar Co. has begun shipping its first limited edition, Agape.
The cigar is a 5 x 54 robusto and is a Dominican puro that uses seven types of tobacco, including an autochthonous Dominican binder leaf, meaning that it is an indigenous leaf to the country. The blend was developed Luis Torres, co-founder of Freud Cigar Co., and Eladio Diaz, formerly the supervisor of production at Davidoff’s factory in the Dominican Republic. Diaz describes the cigar as being creamy and slightly spicy, with floral, cocoa and oak wood sensations.
The cigars were produced at Diaz’s new factory, Tabacalera Diaz Cabrera, and have been resting since they were rolled in January. Pricing is set at $30 per cigar and $300 for a box of 10 cigars, with production limited to 3,500 boxes.
Freud Cigar Co. made the announcement via Cigar Aficionado, which it provided the story to as an exclusive to that publication. Torres did confirm that the cigar is shipping to halfwheel.

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.
