Casa Carrillo Adds Corona Gorda To Endure Line
The Perez-Carrillo family, owners of Casa Carrillo Cigars, has added a size to its Endure line. The new Corona Gorda will bring the brand to three sizes. Endure is one of Casa Carrillo’s newer releases, having launched early this year.
The Corona Gorda measures 6 inches long by 46 ring gauge, and like the other sizes of Endure, is made with a rounded press. The cigar is rolled at the Casa Carrillo factory in the Dominican Republic with a mix of Nicaraguan and African tobaccos. The filler and binder are Nicaraguan, and the wrapper leaf is grown in Cameroon, a product of the Meerapfel family.
Each Corona Gorda is slated to retail for $18, and they will come 10 to the box.
At first, the Corona Gorda will be quite limited. It will initially be sold at Two Guys Smoke Shop, based out of New Hampshire, launching at an event thrown by the retailer on August 28. In September, the cigar should be available to more retailers around the United States.
Endure cigars did well on their debut tasting, scoring 91 points and 88 points in blind taste tests.
