Lure Cigars have revealed the launch of “The Fat Tony,” a new addition to its Corojo Oscuro core line. This 5×54 Robusto Grande introduces a shift in strength and flavor to the blend. “I love the Big Lou toro and Lilโ€™ Tony robusto, but when smoking the samples of this size, the blend just fit so well in this vitola. Itโ€™s like donning your favorite pair of time-softened weekend corduroys with the tag that says โ€˜HUSKYโ€™ on the pocket,” said owner Lou Cross.

The cigar features a double-fermented Corojo Oscuro wrapper, an Esteli binder, and filler tobaccos sourced from Esteli, Jalapa, and Ometepe, Nicaragua. It comes packaged in 10-count sealed wax packs with red heavyweight craft stock and includes Bovedaยฎ humidification. “The Fat Tony” is priced at $12.50 per cigar and will be a regular production offering.

The blend delivers a medium to full-bodied smoke with flavors including leather, baking spices, dried fruit, cafรฉ con leche, and a hint of orange peel. It will debut on April 1, 2025, at Small Batch Cigars, with broader availability to retailers at the Premium Cigar Association Tradeshow.
