Stogie Road Cigars’ Sweet Grass Gringo to Ship This Week
After some delays caused by the coronavirus pandemic, Stogie Road Cigars is set to begin shipping the first cigar in its new Sweet Grass Gringo line this week.
It’s the natural version of the blend, which uses a Nicaraguan candela leaf and a shade grown Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf to create the barber pole design. Under the barber pole sits a Honduran-grown binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Honduras. It is offered in a single 6 x 52 vitola priced at $12 and available in 10-count boxes, with production handled by Tabacalera Kafie in Danlí, Honduras.
The maduro version, which replaces the Ecuadorian Connecticut leaf with a wrapper of undisclosed origin, is still on track for a release in the coming weeks, with Horney targeting a mid-to-late summer release. He added that the filler also gets a change to make it the overall profile a bit beefier. It will also come in a 6 x 52 toro vitola priced at $12 and available in 10-count boxes.
Both versions are regular production additions to the Stogie Road Cigars portfolio.

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, the G-League's Valley Suns, 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.
