Platino Sumatra: Reposado en Cedro Toro en Route from Córdoba & Morales
It’s not everyday you see a colon in the name of a cigar, but Córdoba & Morales is using one in the name of its newest release, the Platino Sumatra: Reposado en Cedro Toro.
The 6 1/2 x 52 toro uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that has been aged for nearly five years, with Nicaraguan tobacco used for the binder and filler. Once the cigar is rolled, it rests in Spanish cedar boxes for one year before being packed into 20-count boxes that will head to retailers. The single stick MSRP is $12, while a box will cost $240 before taxes.
Córdoba & Morales will unveil the Platino Sumatra: Reposado en Cedro Toro at the upcoming IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, which runs from July 25-28 in Las Vegas, Nev. The company has not yet announced the factory making the new cigar or what production numbers are.

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.
