Jake Wyatt Cigar Co. Moves Gourmet Line Lanceros to Regular Production

After debuting at the 2021 PCA Convention & Trade Show as a limited edition sampler, Jake Wyatt Cigar Co.’s Gourmet Line lanceros are becoming regular production offerings at the 2022 PCA Convention & Trade Show.

The Gourmet Line is made up of five blends, all of which are produced at Tabacalera JVM:

• Fourth Dimension, which features a Dominican habano rosado with Dominican candela accents over a Dominican binder and filler.
• Herbert Spencer, which uses a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper with Ecuadorian Connecticut accents over a Dominican binder and filler.
• Lucid Interval, which has a Dominican candela wrapper over a Dominican binder and filler.
• U.S.I.R., which uses a Dominican habano rosado wrapper with Mexican San Andrés maduro accents atop a Dominican binder and filler.

Each is being offered in 22-count boxes, with pricing for the Appendix II, Fourth Dimension, Herbert Spencer and Lucid Interval set at $259.60 per box, which works out to $11.80 per cigar. The U.S.I.R. line will be priced at $278.96 per box, or $12.68 per cigar.

They are set to begin shipping in July upon orders being placed at the 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.
