Recluse Cigar Co. Announces OTG Dominican Puro
Five down, four to go, as Recluse Cigar Co. has announced the release of Recluse OTG Dominican Puro, the fifth of nine new lines coming from the company at the 2016 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show.
The Recluse OTG Dominican Puro is the third expansion of the company’s original OTG Maduro blend, the first to be offered in the U.S. market. Scott Weeks, the company’s president said that “the OTG Dominican Puro was the funnest and most challenging project we have done to date. Making a true Dominican puro blend and having the end result be this absolutely fantastic cigar is a satisfaction that is hard to put into words.”

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.
