L’ATELIER Côte d’Or ’19

L’Atelier Côte d’Or ’19 Box of 10 – 6 x 50 Soft Box Press We are excited to announce that we are once again releasing a Limited run of L’Atelier Côte d’Or.  Originally released as a Churchill in 2015 and 2017, L’Atelier Côte d’Or 2019 changes to a 6×50 Toro.  The 2019 naming convention is simply the next year we intended to release this and didn’t have the opportunity to do so.

This original project was born from a small amount of Pelo de Oro that Pepin had grown and gave us the opportunity to use in 2015 for our limited release.  Utilizing the higher priming Sancti Spiritus wrapper found on the L’Atelier Selection Spéciale vitolas, a blend of fillers that incorporates the Pelo de Oro was used.  This formula remains the same – dark Sancti wrapper, medium blend incorporating Pelo do Oro – but this version is a 6×50.  The resulting profile for Côte d’Or is complex, rich and extremely special.  

Again in 10 count boxes, the total production will be 1,500 boxes of 10 (15,000 cigars).

SURROGATES Backline

Surrogates Backline is a project that started with Dan replacing a vacuum tube on his guitar amp when he realized that the top of the tube resembled the fuma head that we use on some of our vitolas.   And thus, the idea for an Amp Box was born.  

Dan wanted to do two different sizes in the box as guitar tube amps have pre-amp tubes and power tubes in them.   While we decided to use the same blend for both sizes, the larger size should have a slightly higher priming wrapper on them, albeit just the next sorting

20 count Mixed Boxes (10 EL454 and 10 EL554)

The two sizes decided on when blending was 4 x 54 and 5 x 54.   And as for the blend, it’s medium-full with Habano Ecuador wrapper and Nicaraguan fillers.  When we were blending at the factory, Dan said this particular version reminded him of ” a certain amp tone that had a lot of mid-range and a little grit” and that this was the perfect start for the series.   This is the first of the “Amp Series” and the intent is to create a different blend again next year, that will be reminiscent of a different style of amp.
