Micallef Cigars has announced the โ€œMicallef Green,โ€ the fifth release in the companyโ€™s Color Series (following Black, Blue, Red, and Purple). The cigar will premiere virtually with Smoke Inn on Sept. 5, with nationwide shipping to Micallef retail partners beginning Sept. 8.

Built at the companyโ€™s factory in Estelรญ, Nicaragua, the blend features a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper, a San Andrรฉs Negro binder from Mexico, and Nicaraguan fillers. Micallef describes the profile as medium-to-full, with notes of cocoa, coffee, leather, dried fruit, and subtle spice, finishing clean.

โ€œOur Color Series proves you donโ€™t have to choose between quality and value,โ€ said Dan Thompson, President of Micallef Cigars. โ€œOur retailers know we have their backโ€”Green is built for the humidor, priced for the customer, and designed to strengthen those relationships.โ€

Al Micallef, Founder of Micallef Cigars, added โ€œWe didnโ€™t build Micallef Cigars to chase trends or cut corners. We built it to stand shoulder to shoulder with the best. Green is a cigar that delivers flavor and craftsmanship worthy of a $20 price tag, but we sell it for less because we believe great cigars belong in everyday hands. Thatโ€™s how you build loyaltyโ€”and thatโ€™s how you win.โ€

As with other Color Series releases, Micallef Green is positioned for family-owned brick-and-mortar retailers (and their online storefronts), with pricing controls intended to support retailer margins.
