Falto is releasing two new cigars

Falto is releasing two new cigars. Those are the El Surco Cosecheros and the Edición Especial ELH Hato Viejo. The first one is a 6⅞x40 Lancero while the latter is a 6×47 Toro. As all other cigars by the Puerto Rican brand, they are made at Tabacalera La Aurora, the oldest cigar factory in the Dominican Republic.

Lancero

The Falto El Surco Cosecheros isn’t a new cigar exactly. It is new on the American market though. Previously it was only available at the Tabacalera Falto offices in Puerto Rico. Luis Falto, owner of Falto Cigars says that the cigar is a tribute to the tobacco farmers. The word cosecheros is Spanish for “growers,” and surco translates to “furrow,” or the long, narrow trench made in the ground by a plow before planting seeds. 

The cigar features Dominican tobacco as filler. The binder is Dominican Criollo ’98. The wrapper is from Ecuador and it’s Ecuadorean HVA. HVA stands for Havana Vuelta Arriba. It means that the seeds are Habano seeds from the Vuelta Arriba region, the famous tobacco-growing region in the Pinar del Rio province of Cuba.

Edición Especial ELH Hato Viejo

The second cigar is to celebrate Luis Falto’s 46th birthday. The Falto Edición Especial ELH Hato Viejo features a Cameroon wrapper over a Dominican Corojo binder. The filler is also Dominican. ELH stands for the initials of the grower.

There will be only 100 boxes of each. The El Surco Cosecheros comes in boxes of 26 and the Falto Edición Especial ELH Hato Viejo comes in boxes of 20.
