Patina y Viso Verdigris: A Limited Collaboration Hits Shelves

July 29, 2025 Inspector X 2 min read

Patina Cigars and Viso Horny have teamed up for a limited-edition release. Their joint project, Patina y Viso Verdigris, is now shipping to a select group of retailers across the United States.

A Boutique Collaboration with Depth

This cigar is a 5 x 52 robusto featuring an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. It sits over an Ecuadorian Sumatra-seed binder and Nicaraguan fillers. The blend was crafted at Nicaragua American Cigars S.A., with Patina founder Mo Maali and Viso Horny’s Tyler Jeffrey working on it together in person.

Each cigar is priced at $13 MSRP. Only 300 bundles of 10 cigars were produced, making it one of the more exclusive drops of the season.


Only Ten Retailers Nationwide

The cigars are available through a tightly curated list of ten shops:

  • Casa de Montecristo — Countryside, IL

  • Cigar Spots — Orange, CA

  • Harry’s Smoke Shop — Philadelphia, PA

  • Lake Country Cigars — Delafield, WI

  • Mardo Cigar — Sarasota, FL

  • Michaels Tobacco — Euless/Keller, TX

  • Ramsey Smoke Shop — Ramsey, MN

  • Small Batch Cigar — Orange, CA

  • The Cigar Farm — Shady Grove, PA

  • Tobacco Land — Muenster, IN

This short list underlines the limited nature of the project and the targeted strategy behind its release.


A Design with Personal Roots

Both Maali and Jeffrey hail from the American Midwest—though from different cities. That connection inspired the packaging. On the left side of the bundle is the Milwaukee Art Museum, representing Jeffrey. On the right is the Chicago skyline, paying tribute to Maali.

In keeping with the “verdigris” theme, the cigars are tied with a green ribbon. The bundle also features the chemical formula for turquoise, a clever nod to the patina-inspired name.


Collectible and Contemporary

Patina y Viso Verdigris blends heritage with modern flair. The branding draws from chemistry and architecture, while the cigar itself delivers a complex flavour profile shaped by dual craftsmanship. For fans of small-batch cigars and unique collaborations, this release is one to track down—if you can find it.
