THE WISE MAN MADURO FIRECRACKER SHIPPING NEXT WEEK

From Charlie Minato of Halfwheel: On Monday, United Cigars will begin shipping The Wise Man Maduro Firecracker. It’s the latest in a series that dates back to 2007. Like the other releases in this series, it’s a 3 1/2 x 50 short Robusto with a very long pigtail cap that is made to mimic the fuse of a firecracker. This time, it uses Foundation Cigar Co.’s The Wise Man Maduro blend: a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper over a Corojo binder grown in Jalapa, Nicaragua, and fillers from Jalapa and Estelí, Nicaragua. It is made at Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. in Nicaragua. The MSRP is set at $7.50 per cigar and it is limited to 500 boxes of 20 cigars. Click on the photo to read more from Halfwheel.
