Tabaquero By Hamlet Paredes Now Comes In Culebra
What was once a promotional cigar reserved only for in-store events is now part of the regular portfolio. Made by Rocky Patel in Nicaragua, the Tabaquero by Hamlet Paredes Culebra can be purchased at retail.
The Culebra is a trio of three thin cigars twisted together in a braid. In this case, each cigar in the Culebra offering measures 8 inches, considerably longer than traditional culebras. Every box of three will retail for $36 and the cigars are not intended to be sold individually.
The blend consists of a Mexican wrapper, Brazilian and Mexican binders and Nicaraguan filler. The addition of this long Culebra brings the brand to seven sizes.
