Last year, 7-20-4 reintroduced the 1874 Series after a five-year hiatus, this year the company is switching up the sizes.
Earlier in the show, there was certainly traffic in the booth, which had a good placement on a main aisle up front. However early on the final day of the trade show, the booth—admittedly along with the rest of the trade show—was quiet. So I interrupted the solitude of owner Kurt Kendall and got the details of the new sizes.
7-20-4 1874 Series New Packaging, Gordo Especial & Toro Especial
Having first appeared in 2011, the 1874 Series isn’t new, but this year the company is giving it a new look while changing some of the sizes offered. The Torpedo Especial is gone, and in its place are two sizes, the Toro Especial and a 6 x 60 they’re calling the Gagger. All five sizes are regular production as the company looks to expand distribution of the line.
