GPC Expands CACHITOS Line-Up with Connecticut Release
Global Premium Cigars (GPC) announced today that they will be expanding the CACHITOS line-up, with the release of CACHITOS Connecticut.
The CACHITOS brand has always been about delivering an uncompromising premium cigar experience in a smaller vitola, for discerning cigar enthusiasts without a lot of time to sit down to enjoy a great cigar. CACHITOS original is crafted with premium Nicaraguan tobaccos in a 4 x 50 Short Robusto vitola and is now sold in a premium, 5-pack box configuration that makes it easy to carry them with you on the go.
The CACHITOS Connecticut blend release marks the first line extension in the history of the brand, originally introduced in 2019 by company founder and master blender, Enrique Sanchez, and quickly becoming a go-to, shorter-smoke favorite among cigar enthusiasts. The CACHITOS Connecticut blend is crowned with a shade-grown wrapper from the Connecticut River Valley (USA) and incorporates premium Nicaraguan tobaccos primarily from the Jalapa and Condega regions in the binder and filler to deliver a luxuriously creamy and richly complex smoking experience from start to finish.
Both CACHITOS blends, the original and the Connecticut release, are handcrafted at the Barreda cigar factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, and are created on the same Nicaraguan-centric, exploratory blending philosophy of Enrique Sanchez, aiming to deliver uniquely authentic, premium Nicaraguan cigar blend expressions.
When asked about the new CACHITOS Connecticut blend, Enrique Sanchez stated, “I can honestly say that now is the right time to release this special new blend. It has taken us a long time to find, select and incorporate just the right combination of premium tobaccos that deliver an extraordinarily smooth, yet complex and flavorful Connecticut wrapper blend. One of the challenges was to create a cigar blend that would satisfy cigar smokers across the spectrum of profile preferences. I live for these types of blending challenges, always diving deep into my Nicaraguan roots to deliver blends that are uniquely pleasing, and it brings me great pleasure to now share this blend with cigar lovers everywhere.”
Both CACHITOS are offered in a 4 x 50 Short Robusto vitola, and sold in new, convenient 5-pack box configurations, with an MSRP of $6.20 per cigar. CACHITOS Connecticut will begin shipping to global retailers in April, 2025.
