Kuuts, LLC has announced the addition of a 4 x 48 vitola called Momentos to their Miró line, with operations manager Gabriel Alvarez sharing a photo of the new line via social media on Thursday:
The Miró Momentos will come in 20-count boxes, with a per-stick suggested retail price of $5.50. Alvarez hasn’t pinned down a specific release date yet, but said he is expecting it to begin shipping in May.
A special edition lancero was added to the Miró line in November 2013 and reviewed on halfwheel here. The new size will bring the Miró line to six sizes, as the Momentos joins the original four sizes of the line, a robusto, toro, torpedo and toro gordo, all of which are made at Compañia Hondureña de Tabacos in Honduras.
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.
