Arango Debuts Cigars Featuring Tobacco Last
Seen in Cuba in 1962
Arango Cigar Co. has been appointed exclusive U.S. distributor
for premium cigars made by Tabacos de la Cordillera (Mountain
Range Cigars). Costa Rica-based Cordillera develops its own seed
varieties, cultivates and processes its tobacco, and
manufactures its cigars. It is unique in the industry, growing
all of its own tobacco from its proprietary bank of over 45
varieties of seeds, directly from Cuba or derived from pure
Cuban lineage. Even more noteworthy, these are all "ancestral"
seeds that pre-date the 1962 Cuban Embargo. |

According to Arango president, Mike Gold, "We are dedicating a
generous 100 square feet of our RTDA 2007 booth to Cordillera
Cigars, because we are interested in seeing how attendees will
accept an alternative to cigars on today's market. Cordillera's
director, John Vogel, is a 40-year tobacco agronomist,
specializing in the development of new seed varieties. He is in
Arango's booth, to showcase his unique product and offer samples
for evaluation. I doubt most cigar lovers have smoked cigars
like these before, based on media reviews and customer
feedback."

Vogel is featuring their new Fundación Ancestral collection of
premium cigars, in the four most popular shapes. He is
spotlighting Pinar del Rio 1941, the first cigar in the series.
Cuban Land, the island's leading tobacco research institute at
the time, released the strain to regional farmers in 1941. It
became the archetype for Cuban cigars for decades, before
vanishing after the Embargo. Only 8,000 cigars total are offered
in this first release, in numbered and signed cedar presentation
boxes. Packaged 25 cigars to the box or in cartons of 5 cigars,
Manufacturer's suggested retail price is in the $11 to $12
range. |

Cordillera is also displaying their Cumbres Gold and Colinas
lines. Cumbres (Summits) Gold is a long-filler premium cigar
with a delicately seductive flavor and aroma, as noted by the
cigar press. Value-priced Colinas (Hills) is a medium-filler
cigar with a pedigree ... its filler being remnants from
top-of-the-line Cumbres production. MSRP for Cumbres, in the
four most popular shapes, runs from $4 to $7.50; the Colinas
averages about $3.60 for its 5 shapes. |
