Rough Rider Sweets Adds New Size and Maduro Version
Indianhead Cigars’ Rough Rider Sweets line is getting a new size and a new maduro version.
The original Rough Rider Sweets, which debuted in May 2016 and uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, Dominican olor binder and Dominican piloto cubano and criollo 98 fillers, is adding a new size called Little Guys, which measures 4 1/2 inches long and has a 38 ring gauge. It is priced at $2.80 per cigar and offered in 50-count boxes, which are priced at $140, both before taxes.
It is the sixth size in the line, joining the lonsdale, robusto, toro, Churchill and gordo vitolas from the line’s debut.
The Rough Rider Sweets line is also expanding into a maduro version that uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper and binder, while the fillers are still Dominican piloto cubano and criollo 98 leaves. It is being offered in four sizes:
- Rough Rider Sweets Maduro Robusto (5 x 50) — $4.40 (Box of 25, $110)
- Rough Rider Sweets Maduro Toro (6 x 50) — $4.62 (Box of 25, $115.44)
- Rough Rider Sweets Maduro Churchill (7 x 50) — $4.78 (Box of 25, $119.60)
- Rough Rider Sweets Maduro Torpedo (6 1/2 x 52) — $4.88 (Box of 25, $122)
Both lines feature a sweetened cap, though neither are infused or otherwise flavored, which the company says allows the natural tobacco flavors to shine through. The Rough Rider Sweets Little Guys and the Rough Rider Sweets Maduro are produced at Tabacalera Palma in the Dominican Republic and have just begun shipping to retailers.

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.
