Los Statos Deluxe Limited Edition Heading to Stores on March 1
A new limited edition from Matt Booth, Justin Andrews and William Ventura for the Los Statos Deluxe brand will be arriving on store shelves in early March.
The cigar is a 5 1/2 x 50 robusto extra that uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, and a filler that includes broadleaf from Connecticut and Pennsylvania, along with corojo 98 grown in Nicaragua. A press release describes the cigar as offering rich floral notes that get balanced by white pepper and cocoa, as well as a solid retrohale and clean finish.
“This blend is sophisticated in nature,” said Booth, creative director for Scandinavian Tobacco Group, in a press release. “It is medium to medium-plus in body, yet full in flavor transition throughout the entire smoke. With so much complexity, there’s only one downside to the cigar and it’s that it literally goes by too fast, leaving you to wish the experience lasted longer.”
The cigars are produced at the El Maestro in the Dominican Republic, with production limited to 3,000 boxes of 10 cigars. Pricing is set at $16.99 per cigar. A press release said that the blend will be retired following this release.
The Los Statos Deluxe brand is distributed by STG’s Forged Cigar Co.

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.
