Pérez-Carrillo added: “It has been a pleasure to work with Boris and his team at Royal Agio on this special project, especially because we share a fundamental, common exploratory philosophy as cigar makers. For the both of us, it’s never been about big volume. It’s just the opposite. It’s always been about the underlying passion that drives us to create new and unique cigar blends that will inspire cigar smokers. I feel that we’ve created something very special here and that this release will be one of the most exciting introductions of the year.”
DUETO features extensively aged Nicaraguan and exclusive, stalk-cut Brazilian Mata Norte tobaccos, along with a Nicaraguan binder from Estelí. It also has a robust, yet elegant Nicaraguan wrapper from Jalapa. This cigar will be presented in five vitolas: Robusto (5 x 50), Ovación (Figurado) (5 1/2 x 50), Gran Toro (6 x 52), Gordo (6 x 60), and Churchill (7 x 9). MSRP ranges between $9.75 and $12.50. DUETO will begin to ship to U.S. retailers in September 2018.
