Perdomo Expands 20th Anniversary Line with Pyramid Vitola
Yesterday Perdomo announced via social media that its 20th Anniversary Line would soon be expanding with a pyramid vitola being added to both the Sun Grown and Maduro wrapped versions.
The new vitola will come in 24-count boxes with a MSRP of $10 per cigar and $240 per box when it begins arriving on store shelves on Monday, June 9. The cigar measures 6 1/2 inches in length with a tapered ring gauge, 60 at the foot and 50 at the head. There had been some chatter this year that a new figurado vitola would be added to the line prior to the IPCPR Convention and Trade Show.
The addition of the pyramid brings Perdomo’s 20th Anniversary line to seven sizes, as it joins a 5 x 56 robusto, 6 x 56 epicure, 6 x 60 gordo, 6 1/2 x 54 torpedo, 6 1/2 x 48 corona grande and 7 x 56 churchill. It is the second time a vitola has been added to the line since being released in 2012. The line was also first announced via social media.
This is the second announcement of a new release from Perdomo this week, as earlier this week they announced a new series called the Perdomo Double Aged 12 Year Vintage.
Update (July 2, 2014) — Added vitola size to the story.

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.
