Sacra Folium Cigar Co. Debuting at IPCPR 2016

One of the new companies debuting at this year trade show is bringing quite a few cigars.

Sacra Folium Cigar Co. will launch at this month’s trade show, with five new lines. The brand is the creation of Boris Grossman of Matador Cigars in Long Island, N.Y.

The name translates into “sacred leaf” from Latin. Each of the lines appears to take inspiration from a mathematical term.

It is being offered in two sizes: Robusto Grande (5 x 54) and Toro Gordo (6 1/2 x 56).

Golden Ratio will come in three sizes: Robusto (5 x 50), Toro (6 x 52) and Churchill (7 x 50).
