The cigar rested in a climate-controlled humidor since 2020. Presented in a wooden box of ten cigars &#8211; elegant and understated on the outside, with richness waiting within &#8211; the cigar itself is adorned with a regal purple primary band, complemented by a secondary band bearing The Ariston logo and \u201cNashville Exclusive.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">\u201cThis project is ten years in the making. We have been huge supporters of the brand since its inception because of the attention to detail and commitment to quality in every product they release,\u201d notes Paul Pearse, owner of The Ariston. \u201cThe Purple Toro Ariston Exclusive is a project that aligns both brands with our efforts in raising the bar in this industry. The purple blend is not only our best-selling blend, but also my personal favorite \u2014 it\u2019s my go-to choice for almost every occasion. This exclusive size offers a much more delicate and refined experience than the other lines due to its lower priming wrapper and six years of aging post-rolling.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">In partnership with master cigar maker Jos\u00e9 \u201cJochy\u201d Blanco of Tabacalera Palma in the Dominican Republic, the brand continues its tradition of elevating the smoking experience &#8211; an ethos fully realized in \u201cThe Ariston\u201d purple toro, where exceptional quality and distinction converge.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s3\">\u201cCollaborating with Ariston on this exclusive cigar has been an honor,\u201d adds David Swinburne, founder and CEO of Sans Pareil Cigars. \u201cFrom the beginning, our goal was to create something that felt refined, distinctive, and worthy of The Ariston name. This cigar reflects the craftsmanship Sans Pareil is known for, while also celebrating the spirit of partnership and exclusivity that made this project so special.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe Ariston\u201d Sans Pareil Purple Toro Cigar is priced at <\/span><span class=\"s3\">$38.49\/cigar and $327.17\/ten-count box <\/span><span class=\"s1\">and will be available for purchase exclusively in-store at The Ariston, as well as at its sister locations, <span class=\"s2\">Nashville Cigar<\/span> in Green Hills and <span class=\"s2\">Franklin Cigar<\/span> in Cool Springs, Tennessee.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nashville, Tennessee\u2019s premier cigar lounge and cocktail bar, The Ariston, is thrilled to announce the exclusive release of \u201cThe Ariston\u201d Purple Toro Cigar in collaboration with esteemed cigar brand Sans Pareil.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"featured_media":76397,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[49,55,2812,44],"tags":[10264,10263],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76395"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=76395"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76395\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":76399,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76395\/revisions\/76399"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/76397"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=76395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=76395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cigarjournal.com\/de\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=76395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
