Edgar Hoill Cigars will be releasing a 7 x 38 lancero in the EH blend at the 2014 DC Cigar Tweetup. Edgar Hoill told halfwheel production details have not been finalized, but there will be between 250-300 boxes of either 20 or 25 released. Participants of the DC Cigar Tweetup will also receive a sample as part of their attendance package. Pricing is still undetermined.
The lancero, a first for the EH blend will have a shaggy foot and might include a pigtail as well according to Hoill.
The DC Cigar Tweetup, which takes place on March 14-15, has been the vehicle for cigar launches before. Last year, the CroMagnon Formorian and the Ortega Serie D Maduro Lancero debuted.
Along with the EH lancero, the event this year will see the return of the CroMagnon Formorian, as well as the Miami Cigar Co. KILO, a new blend from Dante named Vita Nova and a robusto vitola in the Asylum 13 Ogre line.
Edgar Hoill Cigars is part of Fabricas Unidas. Earlier this week, Asylum Cigars announced a lancero would be added to the Asylum 13 line.
