September 23, 2013 (Newark, Del.) — After meeting with Guayacan Cigars owner and blender Noel Rojas this morning, Gary Griffith of the House of Emilio is pleased to announce size extensions to the original Guayacan blend.
The original Guayacan with an Ecuadoran Habano wrapper will be available soon in two new sizes: Corona and 6×60.
In addition, there willl be 4 sizes released in a new blend featuring a San Andres maduro wrapper and entirely different filler.
These new products will give Guayacan a stronger market presence, and fill niches that consumers have requested.
According to Griffith the new vitolas should be available around the end of the year.
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.
