Orient Cigars has announced the launch of two new lines to be revealed at the Intertabac trade show this September.
The first line, “Sahara Winds,” launches with a single cigar named “Harmattan”, after the hot desert wind. It is a Grand Perfecto measuring 58 x 6-1/2. It features Nicaraguan filler, an Ecuadorian Habano binder, and a Mexican San Andrés wrapper. Uniquely, this cigar has both ends closed, allowing it to be smoked from either end. This feature alters the sequence in which flavors emerge, creating two distinct smoking experiences.
The second line, named “La Nuit,” debuts with two Nicaraguan-rolled cigars named after stars. The first, “Talitha,” measures 4 7/8 x 58, while the second, “Rastaban,” measures 5 7/8 x 54. Both feature Nicaraguan filler and binder, with an Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra wrapper.
