GTO Cigars Will Debut New Cigars at the Boutique Cigar Festival

GTO Cigars will debut a series of new cigars at the Boutique Cigar Festival this weekend. Three blend for the GTO 33 Oaks series in two sizes, all limited to 2000 boxes of each. There will be a 6½x54 Figurado and a 6×47 Corona Gorda in a Corojo wrapper, Connecticut Shade wrapper and a Maduro wrapper. Each box contains 24 cigars, making it a limited run of 48.000 cigars per size and blend.

The cigars use a proprietary Dominican tobacco grown on Omar Rodriguez’s  farm. The cigars undergo a total of 12 years of aging, two of which happen in aged bourbon oak barrels.

“The Figurado is dedicated to the city of Atlanta where I became inspired by the many oaks and discovered the essence of the blend, walking the Beltline on Sundays,” Rodriguez says. He went onto call the cigars full-bodied smokes that will inspire amazing journeys, adding that “these cigars really tell a story and have an incredible flavour like no other.”

Another new GTO release is the PaTuTu Maduro, an 8×60 Gran Toro Extradorinario. The name comes from the Spanish slang to pass out, something that happened to his cousins when they smoked this full-bodied, full-strength cigar. The tobacco is a proprietary Dominican-grown tobacco from the company’s farm, including ligero tobacco that has been aged for 10 years. The origin and variety of the wrapper has not yet been disclosed.
