If there was one company getting a lot of bang out of a relatively small space, it was Boutique Blends, who loaded in a number of new products to their bright and glossy space.
The limited edition Aging Room M21 Fortissimo – which you will often see spelled with the ƒƒ fortissimo music notation replacing the F – is being capped at 3,000 individually numbered boxes of 10. It’s a Dominican puro that comes from Habano seed growing in La Canella and is made at Tabacalera La Palma in the Dominican Republic. The Perfecto measures 5 3/4 x 47 and has a price of $12.90 per cigar or $129.00 per box, and is available only through brick & mortar retailers.
Also being limited to 3,000 boxes is the 10-count WildPack, which was discussed here. Inside is two cigars of five previously unreleased blends, with a scorecard for each cigar included as a large foot band. You use that scorecard to grade the cigar, then head over to a website and provide your feedback. What happens from there remains to be seen. All ten cigars are 6 x 50 Toros; MSRP is $96.60 per box.
Also new is the Aging Room Minis, originally mentioned here. A cigarillo that uses the same blend as the M356, they come in 20-count tins. $14.08 per tin.
A pair of new maduros came along as well: the Swag “S” Maduro and Aging Room Maduro. The Swag “S” Maduro features nothing smaller than a 54 ring gauge and has a 7 x 70 called “The Bawse” and a 7 7/8 x 63 vitola called “Carter,” as well as a 6 1/2 x 60 so if you like big cigars, they’ve got you covered.
The Aging Room Maduro features a few more traditional sizes, from a 4 1/2 x 48 to a 6 1/2 x 60.
Gift boxes and samplers rounded out Boutique Blends’ new offerings:
This features four SWAG Puro Dominicanos, 4 SWAG South Beach Edition and two SWAG “S” Maduros, all in the 6 x 54 Infamous size. $84.80.
