Lampert Oro Kingpin Heads to Stores

This week, the Lampert Oro Kingpin will arrive at select stores in the U.S.

Kingpin is a new 4 x 62 double perfecto that uses an Ecuadorian criollo wrapper over an Ecuadorian habano 2000 binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Peru. Lampert says that all of the tobaccos were aged for five years before the cigars were rolled at Tabacos de Costa Rica.

It has an MSRP of $18 and comes in boxes of 10 cigars.

Andrew Rock, who handles U.S. sales for Lampert, told halfwheel that it will arrive this week at 10 stores in the U.S. and will begin shipping to stores in Europe later this month. Those 10 U.S. retailers are:
