Nick & Jim Line Gets Two New Vitolas at IPCPR 2018

The collaboration between Nick Syris of LH Premium Cigars and “Island” Jim Robinson of Leaf & Bean will get two additional vitolas at next month’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show.

Nick & Jim will add a Torpedo (6 x 52) and Gordo (6 x 60). Both will be available in 20-count boxes and 20-count bundles, though pricing has not been finalized.

The line debuted last year in a single 6 x 54 toro extra size known as P.B.E. It is made at Tabacos de Costa Rica using an Ecuadorian habano wrapper, an Ecuadorian binder and Peruvian and Nicaraguan fillers. It was originally a cigar Syris originally created for Robinson’s Leaf & Bean retail stores.
