Last year, Jeff Mouttet of Riverside Cigar Shop of Jeffersonville, Ind. launched Fosforo, a new line of cigars made at Garmendia Cigars Co. Now, there’s a second Fosforo blend on the horizon.

The Fosforo Connecticut will debut in a single 5 3/4 x 46 corona gorda vitola later this month. It uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Nicaragua. This particular cigar serves two purposes; it is the first release in the company’s new Fosforo Limitada line, which will contain limited edition releases, and the first size of the Fosforo Connecticut line, which the company plans on making a regular production line later this year.

For this release, just 2,400 cigars have been produced. Each cigar has an MSRP of $9.95 per cigar.

“The Fosforo started as another store blends for Riverside,” said Mouttet in a press release. “My original intent was to introduce my clientele to new and upcoming factories in Esteli, where I spend much of my time. With help from Colin Ganley, we found Garmendia Cigars, run by Jose Palacios, and created the first Fosforo blend. Soon afterward, I attended a retailer event at RoMa Craft Tobac and passed out our Fosforos, and surprise, over half the retailers came back to me asking to carry Fosforo!”

Popsiech, Inc. distributes Fosforo.
