Artesano Del Tobacco To Unveil the New EL Pulpo Perfecto “THE SQUID”

Artesano Del Tobacco is excited to announce the launch of its latest addition to the acclaimed EL Pulpo cigar line: the new EL Pulpo Perfecto, affectionately named “THE SQUID.” This remarkable Perfecto measures an elegant 6.5 x 60 box-pressed format and will begin shipping to cigar stores nationwide on Thursday, August 28th, 2025. “The SQUID” upholds the cherished blend of the original EL Pulpo cigars, featuring a rich Mexican San Andreas Maduro wrapper complemented by a Nicaraguan binder and filler. Crafted at AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua and encased in a beautifully designed wooden box that reflects the original EL Pulpo packaging, each box contains ten meticulously rolled Perfecto cigars.

Based on suggestions from our loyal consumers who desired a unique shape that embodies strength and balance of the EL Pulpo blend, we opted for a perfecto shape,” said Billy, Bass & Gus of Artesano Del Tobacco. “After enjoying a pre-release with friends at Matador Cigar Lounge in NYC, Willy—the GM—suggested naming it ‘The Squid’ due to its resemblance to this fascinating creature. We believe these perfectos represent a harmony between strength and flavor derived from our well-aged San Andreas wrapper.”
