ARTESANO DEL TOBACCO TO UNVEIL THE NEW ELPULPOPERFECTO “THE SQUID”

Artesano Del Tobacco has announced the launch of its latest addition to the acclaimed EL Pulpo cigar line: the new

EL Pulpo Perfecto, affectionately named “THE SQUID.” This remarkable Perfecto measures an elegant 6.5 x 60 box-pressed format and will begin shipping to cigar stores nationwide on Thursday, August 28th, 2025.

“The SQUID” upholds the cherished blend of the original EL Pulpo cigars, featuring a rich Mexican San Andreas Maduro wrapper complemented by a Nicaraguan binder and filler. Crafted at AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua and encased in a beautifully designed

wooden box that reflects the original EL Pulpo packaging, each box contains ten meticulously rolled Perfecto cigars.

“Based on suggestions from our loyal consumers who desired a unique shape that embodies strength and balance of the EL Pulpo blend, we opted for a perfecto shape,” said Billy, Bass & Gus of Artesano Del Tobacco. “After enjoying a pre-release with friends at Matador Cigar Lounge in NYC, Willy—the GM—suggested naming it ‘The Squid’ due to its resemblance to this fascinating creature. We believe these perfectos represent a harmony between strength and flavor derived from our well-aged San Andreas wrapper.”

Pricing is set at $20.00 per cigar and $200.00 for a box of ten.
