Micallef Cigars announces Color Blend bundles, a new handmade bundle line built from the same premium tobaccos behind the acclaimed Color Series. Featuring a Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder with Color Series select filler tobaccos, the #2 \u2014 a 6 x 52 Toro at $5.00 \u2014 and the 660 \u2014 a 6 x 60 Gordo at $6.60 \u2014 are sure to become the Micallef you\u2019re never without.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The #2 and 660 come directly from that production: Micallef\u2019s rollers generate select cuts and trimmings during the production of every Color Series cigar at the factory in Estel\u00ed, Nicaragua \u2014 and those tobaccos fill every Color Blend Bundle. Same tobacco. Same factory. Same hands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The #2 and 660 will debut at the 2026 PCA Trade Show in New Orleans and will begin shipping to brick-and-mortar retailers nationwide immediately following the show.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEvery Color Series cigar we roll generates excellent tobacco that deserves to be smoked, not wasted,\u201d said Dan Thompson, President of Micallef Cigars. \u201cWe wrap it in a premium wrapper and binder, hand- roll it in the same factory, and provide our retail partners a five-dollar cigar or $100 20-count bundle they can be proud to recommend.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And Micallef is willing to put its construction to the test.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPeople say mixed-fill cigars can\u2019t hold an ash. Most can\u2019t. Ours can. Light one up and see for yourself \u2014 we\u2019re putting a thousand dollars behind it with the #HoldMyAsh contest,\u201d said Al Micallef, Founder of Micallef Cigars. \u201cSame rollers. Same tobacco. I like our chances.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The #HoldMyAsh contest awards a $1,000 gift certificate at a Micallef authorized brick-and-mortar retailer to whoever posts the longest ash smoking a Color Blend bundle cigar. Full contest details and rules are available at MicallefCigars.com. The contest runs April 25 through May 31, 2026.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Like every Micallef cigar, The #2 and 660 are available exclusively through family-owned brick-and-mortar retailers and their online storefronts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
