IPCPR 2014: Nomad Cigar Co.

For Fred Rewey, the IPCPR convention and trade show focused on one letter and three numbers, at least as far as new product is concerned. If that sounds familiar, it’s because it is. This year, it’s the Nomad C-276, another A.J. Fernandez-made cigar. Elsewhere, Rewey was expanding his sales network with a combination of new accounts and retailers, another indication he and Nomad are towards the top of the House of Emilio ladder.

Nomad C-276
While it uses an Ecuadorian habano oscuro wrapper, the star is probably the five different Nicaraguan fillers. There will a 6 x 50 toro, 5 x 50 robusto, 6 1/2 x 52 torpedo, 6 x 58 toro grande and 5 1/2 x 46 corona, all priced under $10 and shipped in 21-count boxes shortly after the trade show. More details can be found here.

Nomad is distributed by House of Emilio.
