A new cigar company.
Brolo Cigar Co. was started by husband and wife Joshua and Kaitlyn Stephens, who built an online community around a website, a blog and a Discord group before releasing any ci**rs. Now they've got three, each in a 5 x 50 robusto, boxes of 20:
Porchlight: Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, Nicaraguan and Dominican filler.
Confessional: Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper, Nicaraguan Habano binder, Nicaraguan filler.
Back Booth: Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, Nicaraguan and Dominican filler.
They debut November 19 at Viso Cigar Lounge in McKinney, Texas, with retailer shipments starting the next day.
Joshua Stephens on the idea: "You're just sitting together, sharing something good."
Which one would you light first?
