Antillian Cigar Corporation has announced a new line for its flagship Sosa Cigars brand, the Sosa Auric Perfectum Spiced.

The cigar features a barber pole design with a wrapper of Ecuadorian Connecticut and habano leaves over a Nicaraguan binder and filler. Once constructed, the cigars are then cured with four different types of bourbon whiskey: honey tea, cinnamon, cherry and an unflavored bourbon. Production is being handled by Tabacalera Aromas de Jalapa S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.

Sosa Auric Perfectum Spiced

The Sosa Auric Perfectum Spiced is offered in four sizes: Robusto (5 x 50), Toro (6 x 52), Torpedo (6 1/2 x 54) and Churchill (7 x 50). Each is sold in a five-pack, with the Robusto and Toro priced at $35 per pack and the Torpedo and Churchill priced at $37 per pack.

The line is currently en route 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 MLB.com, 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.
