Curtis Draper\u2019s annual charity event. The 6 x 52 toro cigar has been specially crafted to match the flavors of the whiskey barrel pick by Laws Whiskey House, which will yield only 200 bottles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">The blend for the cigar was created by George A. Rico, a master blender with over 27 years of experience in the industry. The bourbon is a 4-grain (60% corn, 20% wheat, 10% rye, 10% malted barley), distilled in the summer of 2015, aged in a medium char new <\/span><span class=\"s1\">oak barrel before being finished in a port cask. It was proofed back down to its original entry proof of 110 and bottled for this specific project. A once-in-a-lifetime project, \u201cLa Pareja Perfecta\u2026The Perfect Pair.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The blend of the cigar consists of a Nicaraguan Shade-Grown wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder, and filler from Nicaragua and Peru. Only 300 boxes of the special 6 x 52 toro cigar will be produced for <\/span><span class=\"s1\">the 2023 production, with each box containing 10 cigars. The MSRP for each box will be $180 dollars.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Laws Whiskey House, founded in 2011 by Al and Marianne Laws, is an award-winning American distillery in Denver, Colorado that produces a variety of whiskies in small batches. Each batch is milled, cooked, fermented, distilled, and aged onsite, utilizing heirloom <\/span><span class=\"s1\">American grains from family-owned Colorado farms. The practice of open-air, on-grain fermentation captures the essence of Colorado\u2019s terroir while the custom Vendome Copper pot-column still produces a robust, grain-forward style of whiskey that is aged in <\/span><span class=\"s1\">53-gallon medium charred oak barrels.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">&#8222;We are excited to collaborate with Laws Whiskey House and W. Curtis Draper to create this special limited-edition cigar,&#8220; said George A. Rico. &#8222;The blend that we have created perfectly matches the flavors of the whiskey barrel pick, making for a truly unique <\/span><span class=\"s1\">and enjoyable smoking experience.&#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The special limited-edition cigar will be available exclusively at W. Curtis Draper in Washington DC. Cigar enthusiasts and whiskey connoisseurs alike will not want to miss out on this opportunity to try this one-of-a-kind cigar and whiskey pairing a\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"s3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ghcigars.us6.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=2e091de45ef05afa8b303a0f9&amp;id=2d8221345b&amp;e=11b889dbb0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Draper\u2019s Little Puff<\/a><\/span><span class=\"s4\"> on June 16, 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gran Habano Cigars and Laws Whiskey House have teamed up with\u00a0W.
