Artesano Del Tobacco Unveils the New EL Pulpo Lancero “THE EEL”. A Must-Try for Cigar Aficionados
A New Chapter in the EL Pulpo Legacy
Artesano Del Tobacco has once again captivated cigar enthusiasts with the introduction of their latest creation—the EL Pulpo Lancero “THE EEL.” This premium addition to the celebrated EL Pulpo cigar line is a masterful blend of craftsmanship, tradition, and bold flavors, delivering an elevated smoking experience in a refined 7 x 38 Lancero vitola.
Starting February 18, 2025, THE EEL will be available in cigar stores nationwide, continuing Artesano Del Tobacco’s commitment to offering some of the finest boutique cigars on the market. As many of you may know, pulling off a Lancero is no easy task.
What Makes EL Pulpo Lancero “THE EEL” Special?
This new Lancero maintains the beloved EL Pulpo blend, featuring a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler. However, what truly sets THE EEL apart is a special fermentation process applied to both the wrapper and binder, enhancing the sweetness and roasted notes of the cigar.
Each Lancero is meticulously handcrafted at AJ Fernandez’s factory in Nicaragua, ensuring a slow-burning, flavor-packed smoking experience that highlights the depth and complexity of its premium tobaccos.
The Inspiration Behind “THE EEL”
According to Artesano Del Tobacco’s founders, Billy, Bass, and Gus Fakih, this new size was inspired by loyal consumer feedback. Given the overwhelming popularity of the EL Pulpo blend, the brand reached out to its fans, asking which vitola they’d like to see next. The resounding response was for a Lancero that showcases the full beauty of the San Andrés Maduro wrapper—and THE EEL was born.
"Our success is built on the passion of our supporters. Their input shaped this release, and we believe this Lancero is the perfect format to showcase the richness and craftsmanship of EL Pulpo," said the Fakih brothers.
