Sans Pareil announces the debut of the Club Humidor Exclusive Blue Belicoso, a limited release created in collaboration with legendary San Antonio tobacco retailer Club Humidor and its owner, Keith Rumbo. Marking only the second retail collaboration since Sans Pareil’s inception, the release brings together a shared appreciation for exceptional tobacco, enduring craftsmanship, and the luxury of time.
Rolled in 2020 and aged ahead of its debut, the Blue Belicoso reflects the patience at the heart of Sans Pareil. Its original release is available in very limited quantities, offering collectors and discerning enthusiasts a rare opportunity to experience this long-rested expression of the brand’s Dominican heritage.
Measuring 6¼ inches with a 52-ring gauge, the Dominican puro features a Criollo 98 wrapper over Dominican Elite Selection binder and filler tobaccos. The cigar is crafted at Tabacalera Palma in the Dominican Republic, drawing on a tobacco-growing legacy spanning five generations and four farms. Presented in boxes of 15, the Blue Belicoso unites a classic tapered silhouette with the quiet distinction of an extensively aged cigar.
“Club Humidor has always been about sharing exceptional cigars and the stories behind them,” says Keith Rumbo, owner of Club Humidor. “What makes this collaboration special is the care and patience it represents. A cigar rolled in 2020 carries years of anticipation into the moment it is finally enjoyed. We are proud to put the Club Humidor name on this release and share it with the community that makes our three San Antonio locations so special.”
The collaboration follows Sans Pareil’s Ariston Exclusive Purple Toro, created with The Ariston in Nashville, Tennessee. For its second retail partnership, Sans Pareil brings that same personal approach to Club Humidor, honoring the retailer’s place in San Antonio’s cigar culture through a distinctive expression of its Blue line.
“True luxury begins long before a cigar reaches the humidor,” says David Swinburne, CEO and Co-Founder of Sans Pareil. “It begins with the tobacco, the hands that shape it, and the patience to give it the time it deserves, and this release reflects our commitment to that philosophy. Keith and Club Humidor share our respect for the craft, making this a meaningful partnership and a fitting home for a cigar we have waited years to present.”
The Sans Pareil Club Humidor Exclusive Blue Belicoso will be available at all three Club Humidor locations in San Antonio, Texas, with a very limited allocation to select appointed retailers across the United States, including The Ariston in Nashville, Tennessee. Quantities from the original 2020 production are very limited.
The unveiling
The cigar will be unveiled on September 27, from 6–9 p.m. Central Time, at Club Humidor’s San Pedro lounge in San Antonio. This intimate, private setting offers a fitting occasion to introduce a vintage cigar that embodies the Sans Pareil promise: “without equal.”
