After being shown off at the 2022 PCA Convention & Trade Show in mid-July, the Patina Sumatra is off to retailers, as the first shipments began arriving at the end of this past week.

The Patina Sumatra uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra oscuro wrapper, a Connecticut broadleaf binder, and fillers from the U.S.A. and Nicaragua. It is produced at the Nicaragua American Cigars S.A. (NACSA) factory in Estelí and offered in four sizes:

  • Patina Sumatra Precipitation (4 x 50) — $8.95 (Box of 16, $143.20)
  • Patina Sumatra Rustic (5 x 52) — $10.95 (Box of 16, $175.20)
  • Patina Sumatra Copper (6 x 46) — $10.95 (Box of 16, $175.20)
  • Patina Sumatra Bronze (6 x 52) — $12.95 (Box of 16, $207.20)

“The Sumatra is a continuation of our strategy to create unique core line offerings that are available on a continual basis to our retailers and consumers,” said Mo Maali of Patina Cigars. “It’s a very dynamic cigar and I can’t wait for people to enjoy it”.

It is the company’s fourth regular production line, joining the Patina Connecticut, Patina Habano and Patina Maduro.

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.
