S.T. Dupont limited edition lighter for Tatuaje Monster Series 2012 at IPCPR 2012.

As mentioned in our coverage of Tatuaje’s booth at IPCPR 2012, there will be 666 boxes of 13 coffins produced, as well as 3,100 boxes of 10 non-dress boxes, up from 1,300 last year. The 13 “unlucky” retailers will be announced in October with the cigars shipping immediately after. The blend is a modified Black Label blend featuring a Nicaraguan sun grown wrapper and Nicaraguan fillers. There will be just under 40,000 The Mummys released, the largest single Monster Series release to date. The accompanying  S.T. Dupont lighters also make a return as part of the release.
This is the first year that the now-closed Gloucester Street Cigars was not amongst the Unlucky 13. Jose Agosto of Gloucester Street was often credited with assisting in the formation of the Monster Series concept.

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.
