“Only in New York” is a slogan that Altadis U.S.A. Inc. is taking very seriously with their new U.S. regional release: the Montecristo New York Connoisseur Edition. It was blended with New York in mind, and will only be available for purchase in the Empire State. And this cigar, like New York City, is a melting pot. It’s composed of Dominican filler, a Nicaraguan binder, and an Ecuadoran Habano wrapper leaf. They were all put together at the Tabacalera de Garcia factory in the Dominican Republic and conceived by a team that included José Seijas, vice president and general manager of Tabacalera de Garcia. The new corona gorda measures 6 inches by 60 ring gauge, is packaged in boxes of ten.
