General Cigar Unveils Odyssey Maduro at IPCPR 2018

General Cigar Co. is releasing a new addition to its Odyssey line of cigars, the Odyssey Maduro.

The new line uses a Nicaraguan habano wrapper over a Honduran binder and Nicaraguan filler, with the company calling it a medium-bodied smoking experience with subtle spiciness, earthiness and a clean finish.

“Given its accessible price point, Odyssey Maduro is a no-brainer for the tenured cigar smoker who’s looking to change up his or her smoking repertoire with something new,” said Jen Moody, brand manager for Odyssey, in a press release.

It is being released in five sizes, each in 20-count packaging:

  • Odyssey Maduro Corona (5 1/2 x 43) — $1.69
  • Odyssey Maduro Robusto (5 x 50) — $1.89
  • Odyssey Maduro Toro (6 x 50) — $2.09
  • Odyssey Maduro Churchill (7 x 48) — $2.39
  • Odyssey Maduro Gigante (6 x 60) — $2.59

Odyssey Maduro is handmade in Nicaragua at the Plasencia Cigars S.A. factory and is scheduled to begin shipping in August.

The Odyssey brand debuted at the 2016 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show

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 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.
