Artesano Del Tobacco to Unveil the New El Pulpo

Artesano Del Tobacco is excited to announce the launch of its latest addition to the El Pulpo cigar line: the new El Pulpo Perfecto, affectionately named “THE SQUID.” This Perfecto measures 6.5 x 60 in a box-pressed format and will begin shipping to cigar shops nationwide on Thursday, August 28th, 2025.

“The SQUID” upholds the blend of the original El Pulpo cigars, featuring a Mexican San Andreas Maduro wrapper complemented by a Nicaraguan binder and filler. Crafted at AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua and encased in a wooden box that reflects the original El Pulpo packaging, each box contains ten 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.”
