Small Batch Cigar is excited to announce the second installment in an exclusive collection called the Blender Series! This series focuses on highlighting unique blenders to showcase their creativity with limited-edition expressions of their talents. As with previous releases, bands and other artwork have been subdued to allow the cigar to speak for itself.
The Blender Series Felipe Gregorio centers around meticulously aged Pelo de Oro and Corojo tobaccos from Costa Rica that are augmented with carefully selected ligero leaves from Condega, Nicaragua for additional body and strength.
Philip Wynne of Felipe Gregorio says, “Apart from being a dear friend, Ammar is one of my oldest customers. When he asked me to make something specially blended in my way for Small Batch, I obviously jumped at the opportunity. The size I wanted to make was one that was never carried in the Felipe Gregorio line – a 6 x 50 Toro. The final result is a cigar that encompasses all that I personally hold dear in a blend: a cigar that grows in intensity, changes taste profiles, is creamy on the palate, and has a long finish. A cigar is to the senses what laughter is to the soul.”

The Small Batch Cigar team had this to say, “We’ve been fortunate to have enjoyed Philip’s friendship and success for the better part of 15 years! It’s due to this extremely close relationship that we knew Philip would be an exceptional candidate to showcase his skills in our Blender Series. We consider the Felipe Gregorio portfolio a seminar in using vintage tobaccos with a resolute focus on quality over quantity. A truly small batch brand, if you will, that invokes a sense of nostalgia with exceptional craftsmanship, tradition, and originality. We look forward to putting this Felipe Gregorio exclusive in our customer’s hands and shining light on a brand that too often flies under the radar!
