L’Atelier Imports Shows off Surrogates Animal Cracker
On Friday afternoon, the L’Atelier Imports Facebook page was updated with a picture of a new cigar that is slated to be released in 2013, the 6 x 60 Surrogates Animal Cracker.

Specifics on the blend were not immediately available as the L’Atelier Imports team is in Nicaragua working on new projects, but Welsh did say that the Surrogates Animal Cracker is slated for release at the 2013 IPCPR Convention and Trade Show, which is coming up July 13-17, 2013 in Las Vegas, NV. As mentioned above, it is a 6 x 60 vitola with a fuma head.
The Surrogates line first appeared as a store exclusive for Welsh’s NewHavanaCigars.com and has since evolved into a four-cigar line that includes the Tramp Stamp, Crystal Baller, Bone Crusher and Skull Breaker. The line made its official debut at the 2012 IPCPR Convention and Trade Show in Orlando.
L’Atelier Imports also produces the LAT premium line and the value-based El Suelo and Trocadero lines. Surrogates and LAT are produced at My Father Cigars, S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua, while El Suelo and Trocadero are produced at TACUBA, also owned by My Father Cigars, S.A. in Estelí.
In mid-December, L’Atelier announced that they would be adding a new cigar to their LAT line, the LAT46 Selection Spéciale, or LAT46 SS. It is a 5 5/8 x 46 Corona Gorda that uses a higher priming wrapper leaf than is found on the standard LAT line.

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.
