At the 2023 Total Product Expo (TPE) in February, Jake Wyatt Cigar Co. debuted a new line called Maverick, which is named for co-founder Gerard Abajian’s son and described as much bolder and fuller than anything the company has released to date. It was limited to just 200 bundles of 10 cigars, offered in a single 6 x 54 toro vitola.
Next month, at the 2023 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Convention & Trade Show, the company will give the Maverick line a full release, adding two vitolas to the line, all of which will now come in 22-count boxes.
The blend remains the same, with a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, a corojo binder of undisclosed origin, and a filler that contains Pennsylvania broadleaf and criollo and piloto tobacco of undisclosed origin.
The line will now be available in three sizes:
- Jake Wyatt Cigar Co. Maverick Robusto (5 x 50) — $9 (Box of 22, $198)
- Jake Wyatt Cigar Co. Maverick Toro (6 x 54) — $10 (Box of 22, $220)
- Jake Wyatt Cigar Co. Maverick Box-Pressed Gordo (6 x 60) — $11 (Box of 22, $242)
The cigars, which are produced at Casamorabo Tabacalera in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, are scheduled to begin shipping in August.
