Kuuts Nicaragua Details Revealed
Kuuts, LLC has shared details on its upcoming Kuuts Nicaraguan Blend, which will be unveiled at the 2014 IPCPR Convention and Trade Show in July and ship to retailers in August.
The new line was confirmed to halfwheel back in March, but the only detail released at the time was that there would be five vitolas included in the launch. Today, the company announced several details about the new line, including that those five sizes would be a 4 x 48 called Momentos, the 4 1/2 X 58 Pequeños, a 5 X 52 robusto, 6 X 52 toro and 7 X 60 gordo especial.
Specific pricing for each size is still being determined, but Gabriel Alvarez, the company’s operations manager, says it will be between $5 – $7 per cigar. Each size comes in 20 count boxes.
While it is being called the Kuuts Nicaraguan Blend, only the binder and filler are from the country, as the wrapper hails from Ecuador. The cigars are being made at the company’s Compañia Hondureña de Tabacos factory in Honduras.
Kuuts was also supposed to be debuting the Miró Maduro at the trade show, but plans for that line have been put on hold.

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, the G-League's Valley Suns, 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.
