Sinistro Releasing El Burro Connecticut This Week
Sinistro Cigars is adding a new Connecticut blend to its value-priced El Burro line, and will be shipping the cigars to stores this week.
The blend uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, a Pennsylvania broadleaf binder, and a filler made up of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Pennyslvanian broadleaf tobaccos. It is described as a medium-plus blend that was created by James Agopian of Sinistro Cigars and produced at El Artista in the Dominican Republic.
It is being offered in the same three vitolas as the El Burro Corojo and El Burro Maduro, which debuted at the 2021 Tobacco Plus Expo (TPE) trade show:
- El Burro Connecticut Robusto (5 x 52) — $5.77 (Box of 20, $115.40)
- El Burro Connecticut Toro (6 x 54) — $6.30 (Box of 20, $126)
- El Burro Connecticut Presidente (7 x 60) — $6.82 (Box of 20, $136.40)
“El Burro is our value brand line that has gained a lot of popularity since its release last year,” said Coleman Fine, co-owner of Sinistro Cigars, via a press release. He added that the company uses Grade A wrappers and premium long fillers, but keeps the cost low by using less expensive boxes and bands.
While a regular production cigar, El Burro is part of Sinistro’s La Fabrica Series, which was created as a way to show off what it called “previously undiscovered cigars.”

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.
