Miami Cigar & Co. Releases More Info on 25th Anniversary Project (Update)
Continuing a steady trickle of information about their upcoming 25th anniversary cigar project, Miami Cigar & Co. took to the BOTL.org forums on Tuesday to release a bit more information.
Barry Stein of Miami Cigar posted images of both the band and the box for the project, along with some additional details that hadn’t been previously confirmed.
As had been previously reported, both My Father Cigars and La Aurora’s E. León Jimenes factory are producing cigars for the release, with Stein announcing that the cigars will measure 5 1/2 x 54. They will come in individual coffins, and Stein said when the coffins are removed, the humidor will hold approximately 75 cigars.
Stein noted that the blend and price have not been finalized as of yet, though he anticipates the cigars being available in early spring. Production is being limited to 500 boxes of 20 cigars.
Update (April 3, 2014) — Barry Stein of Miami Cigar & Co. posted this “first look” photo of the Miami Cigar & Co. 25th Anniversary Nicaragua Edition to the Cigar Underground group on Facebook:

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, the G-League's Valley Suns, 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.
