Cigar reviews
Artesano Del Tobacco El Pulpo
Dec
El Pulpo Belicoso is the official #10 Cigar of the year!
It’s on the list of top cigars of the year! No surprise. El Pulpo Belicoso made this year’s Top cigars of 2023 for Cigar Aficionado. While I think it is deserving of even higher than slot number ten, it is not to wonder why it is on the list. The El Pulpo Cigar was released earlier this year as an addition to the Artesano del Tobacco portfolio. Known for the Viva La Vida cigar, or some might say the court jester cigar, the company expanded their partnership with AJ Fernandez and created this beautifully constructed San Andres Maduro. This is one of my personal favorite cigars, demonstrating the beauty of full bodied, balanced smoothness!
“We wanted a blend that fits people’s palate the way an octopus fits in different shapes, spaces and becomes that shape.” Says owners Gus and Ben. “We wanted a blend that becomes hard for any smoker to put down once they light up. Like an octopus that doesn’t let go of its prey. Once again AJ Fernandez has done an amazing job creating EL Pulpo Cigars. We couldn’t be more satisfied with the finished product and cannot wait for everyone to try it. As they say, ‘good things come to those who wait,’ and this statement continues to ring true with the EL Pulpo Cigars.”
If you haven’t tried it, do yourself a favor and light up an El Pulpo Cigar. The Chocolaty San Andres wrapper, coupled with Nicaraguan binder and fillers deliver a pleasant spice, mixed with leather, sweetness, and woody, earthy tones. This cigar is incredible and is now officially on the top cigars of the year list!
