A new boutique brand from Texas, Brolo Cigar Co., is entering the premium cigar market. The independent company was founded by husband and wife Joshua and Kaitlyn Stephens, and its first lineup has three lines, all in a 5 x 50 Robusto format in boxes of 20.
Porchlight, a medium-bodied cigar, pairs an Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and filler from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Confessional is a “double Habano” blend, with an Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper and a Nicaraguan Habano binder. Both carry a suggested price of $14.75 per cigar. Back Booth uses a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper with a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan and Dominican filler, priced at $16.25.
The official launch takes place on November 19 at Viso Cigar Lounge in McKinney, Texas, and shipments to retailers begin the following day. The cigars will be sold only through independent brick-and-mortar tobacconists, not directly to consumers.
