Cigars is named after a coal breaker, which is a coal processing plant which breaks coal into various useful sizes and also removes impurities from the coal. Shamokin is in one of the largest coal regions in Pennsylvania and is a coal mining town. Breaker Cigars\u2019 logo is that of a coal miner smoking a cigar. Coal is in the blood of this shop and town, so that\u2019s how we developed the Hard Coal Detective.<\/p>\n<p>The design was inspired by an actual Shamokin, PA Detective Badge that belonged to one of the patrons\u2019s father, the late Det. James Hodge! The cigars will come in a 10 count coal colored paper bundle and have an MSRP of $10.00 per single cigar and $92.00 per bundle. HCD will come in a 6&#215;52 standard toro vitola. Only 250 bundles have been produced and once these are gone they will not be reproduced. The cigar has been masterfully created at the La Zona Cigar Factory in Esteli, Nicaragua under the watchful eye of Erik Espinosa. The cigar was blended by La Zona\u2019s resident master blender Hector Alfonso Sr. The blend has an Ecuadorian Rosado Oscuro wrapper with a Jalapa, Nicaragua binder and a Esteli, Nicaragua filler that translates into a beautiful medium bodied cigar with deep notes of cinnamon, cedar and white pepper with a touch of warm baking spices. The cigar is well balanced and has a very creamy and smooth finish. The cigar presents an enjoyable experience with rich flavors and aromas without being overpowering.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are all very excited about this project. Like the majority of our limited edition releases, we like to do them with smaller brick and mortar cigar shops. We are a small company that enjoys doing exclusive projects with smaller shops that would usually not have cigar companies doing exclusive releases for them. It\u2019s is great to give them something special!\u201d added Kevin Keithan co-owner. The cigar launched on Saturday, April 2<sup>nd<\/sup> at Breaker Cigars, located at 500 N 8th St, Shamokin, PA 17872. The cigars is on sale in store and online at BreakerCigars.com. With a limited onetime quantity of 250 bundles they will likely sell out fast!
