Toraño Releases Vault E-021, Vault W-009
General Cigar Co. has announced the release of two more cigars from the Toraño family’s blend vault, the Vault E-021 and Vault W-009.
The E-021, which comes in a deep blue box, uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper with a Connecticut broadleaf binder and a blend of filler tobaccos from the Jamastran valley of Honduras, the Estelí region of Nicaragua and a selection of Dominican Republic piloto cubano. It’s billed as a balance between medium body and full flavor and is available in two sizes, 4 x 50 ($5.49) and 5 x 52 ($5.99).
The W-009 is called the companion to the E-021 and uses a sungrown leaf from Nicaragua’s Jalapa valley, with a binder from Honduras’ Jamastran valley. The filler also uses tobacco from Jamastran, as well as Honduran La Entrada that is a 2010 vintage. It comes in two bigger sizes, a 5 1/2 x 54 and a 6 x 50, both priced at $6.49.
In a press release, brand ambassador Jack Toraño said “our blending team in Nicaragua re-envisioned a couple of dynamic blends from my family’s original recipes. Both new lines round out the sizes available in the Vault line while continuing the tradition of exceptional blends in stand-out packaging and affordable prices. I look forward to sharing the new Vault lines with Toraño fans at cigar shops and special events across the country.”

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.
