For the past two years of so, there was an unbanded cigar that would make an occasional appearance at La Tradición Cubana’s retail shop in Miami, Fla. Now, it’s getting a band and being added to the company’s portfolio of regular production cigars.

Dubbed The Mad Scientist The Lab Reserve, the cigar is a Nicaraguan puro that features a maduro wrapper from the country’s Jalapa region. Luis M. Sánchez, owner of La Tradición Cubana, calls is a medium to full-bodied blend.

It’s being released in a single 5 3/8 x 52 vitola that Sánchez refers to as a toro, though he acknowledges it’s a bit shorter than the standard length associated with the vitola. Like the rest of La Tradicion Cubana’s cigars, it is made at the company’s factory in the Dominican Republic.

The Mad Scientist The Lab Reserve comes in boxes of 21 cigars priced at $125, or approximately $6 per cigar.

Sánchez told halfwheel that he is considering releasing it in additional sizes, but there are no immediate plans to do so.

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 during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a voice talent and writer, among other things. I previously covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
