Shortly before last year’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, George Rico announced his latest project—ZULU ZULU Mas Paz Edition. It was an extension to Gran Habano’s S.T.K. line of cigars made in Miami. That cigar has finally begun shipping.

Mas Paz gets its name from the Colombian street artist Federico Frum, who goes by the name Mas Paz. The packaging for the release was designed by Mas Paz and a portion of the sales will be donated to La Casa de la Madre y el Niño, an orphanage in Bogotá, Colombia.

Patrick Lagreid explained it in further detail last year:

Frum’s connection to the project is personal, as he was adopted from La Casa de la Madre y el Niño when he was a child. and now travels the world using his art to inspire and transform neighborhoods in the developing world.

It’s offered in two wrappers: Ecuadorian Connecticut and Nicaraguan habano. Both versions use a filler blend of a Nicaraguan habano binder and Nicaraguan fillers. Three vitolas are available: Lancero (7 1/2 x 40), Corona Gorda (5 5/8 x 46) and Rolo (6 x 54). Pricing ranges from $8.25-9.27.

The cigars are made at G.R. Tabacaleras Co. in Miami, Fla.
