Next month, Sinistro Cigars will be releasing a limited edition version of its Last Cowboy as a store exclusive to MardoCigars.com, an online retailer that maintains locations in Sarasota, Fla. and Laguna Niguel, Calif.

The cigar is a beefy 6 1/2 x 56 toro gordo vitola that is a new size for the line, with a blend that uses a Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper, Mexican San Andrés binder, and a piloto cubano filler from an undisclosed country, though the regular production line identifies that leaf as being from the Dominican Republic. One notable absence is the candela leaf used to accent the regular production line, which shipped in late October 2018.

Sinistro is producing 500 numbered boxes of 14 cigars, each with an MSRP of $200.

The company is expecting them to go on sale in March, but has not yet confirmed a specific release date as the cigars have not yet arrived in the U.S. A spokesman for Sinistro said that pre-orders will start shortly after the cigars clear U.S. Customs.

Production is handled by the La Aurora Cigar Factory.

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.
