Tabacos de la Cordillera™ has introduced its new Variety Sampler, with 3 each of its flagship Cumbres de Puriscal™ premium cigars in Gold, Silver, and Emerald bands. The cellophane-wrapped mini-bundles of 9 cigars are available in 2 of the most popular shapes … Robusto (5″ x 50) and Torpedo (6″ x 52).

Company Director John Vogel states, “Cigar lovers now save 40% off the cost of buying 3 of the regular 5-packs of each of the Gold, Silver, and Emerald lines. Being new to the market, we want to make it more attractive for smokers … especially those who favor Cuban cigars … to discover our unique and incomparable cigars.” The breakout company is the world’s only cigar maker to grow tobacco from “ancestral” pre-Castro seeds that date as far back as 1945, to Cuba’s Golden Age of cigars. Vogel, a graduate agronomist and 40-year genetical researcher in the premium cigar industry, grows all the tobacco naturally on Tabacos de la Cordillera’s 65-acre farm near the Costa Rican mountain town of Santa Marta de Puriscal.

“We especially want smokers to compare the Variety Sampler’s Emerald to the Gold and Silver lines,” states Vogel. “Many smokers incorrectly believe the Gold and Silver names indicate those cigars are superior to the Emerald. In fact, Emerald uses the same extra-select quality of tobacco as do the others … it’s just a different blend. Gold and Emerald cigars are mild-to-medium in body. Silver, with more ligero, is medium-to-full bodied.”

All 3 Cumbres de Puriscal lines are available in 9 of the most popular shapes. Manufacturer’s suggested retail pricing for the Variety Sampler in Robusto is $40.50; MSRP for the Sampler in Torpedo is $53.10. Both Samplers are now available on Tabacos de la Cordillera’s website.
