Press Release: Torcido Cigars

I just received this press release a few minutes ago regarding a new, very-small brand hitting stores soon. "Very small?" Yes, they will be available at just 3 stores nationally, at least at the start. One of those is Burns Downtown in Chattanooga; watch the @CigarWes Twitter feed for updates on when they are available. If you would like to meet Christian and Jessica Hutson, the Chattanooga Tweetup coming up in August will be the right time as they have also signed on to be a sponsor and will be attending. I'm also hoping to bring you a review of this new cigar within a few weeks.

Twisted Cigars Announces Initial Release of Torcido on June 29, 2012

Micro-Boutique Cigar Release

Springfield, MO

Christian and Jessica Hutson of Twisted Cigars are excited to announce the pending release of Torcido cigars. Torcido is a unique, medium to full bodied cigar created in the Dominican Republic at the Matasa factory.

The process started with just an idea years ago when Christian fell in love with the culture of cigars and the people who create them. Torcido is a testament to the history and abilities of the Torcedores that have been rolling cigars for generations. The Quesada family was instrumental in taking that dream and a description of a cigar that didn’t exist and making it a reality.

“I could tell you what I think this cigar tastes like,” Christian says. “However, I would prefer you smoke it yourself and tell me what you find in it. We worked hard to create a well balanced blend that stood up to the strong foods and drinks we prefer.”

“We wrote a flavor profile first and then tested and tweaked different blends for months,” states Jessica. “After discovering the unique wrapper tobacco, the remainder of the blend was created to work around this amazing wrapper.”
