Sinistro Mr. Desflorado to Debut at PCA 2023

Sinistro Cigars has announced its newest regular production core line, Mr. Desflorado, which will debut at the upcoming 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show.

The line uses a Connecticut-seed desflorado wrapper from an undisclosed country of origin, an African Cameroon binder, and fillers from the Dominican Republic, Colombia and Nicaragua, a blend that the company describes as medium-bodied. Mr. Desflorado was blended by James Agopian of Sinistro Cigars, while the cigars are produced at Tabacalera El Artista in the Dominican Republic.

“The Connecticut desflorado wrapper involves a precise rare procedure implemented during the cultivation phase of the tobacco plant,” the company wrote in a press relesae. “In this distinctive process, the uppermost pink flowers of the plant are deliberately removed prior to seed formation. The outcome of this technique is twofold: it deepens the shade of the leaf’s hue and imbues it with a significantly sweeter taste profile. Complementing this wrapper is the infusion of an African Cameroon wrapper along with carefully selected fillers sourced from Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, and Colombia. This harmonious combination of elements results in a symphony of flavors that tantalizes the palate.”

Sinistro is releasing Mr. Desflorado in two sizes, a 5 x 52 robusto priced at $10 per cigar, and a 6 x 54 toro priced at $11 per cigar. Both sizes are offered in 20-count boxes. In a press release, the company said that it is likely to expand to more sizes, but did not suggest when that might happen.

Mr. Desflorado becomes the fifth line in Sinistro’s “Mr. Series,” which includes Mr. Black, Mr. Red, Mr. White and Mr. White Gold Edition. It is scheduled to ship to retailers immediately after the PCA Convention & Trade Show, which happens July 8-12 in Las Vegas.
