The newest vintages of Ferio Tego’s Elegancia and Generoso lines are coming to stores this month, as the company says that the 2024 editions are ready to be released after 22 months of aging.
The company says that it takes a wine-inspired approach to releasing them in vintages. “Rather than aiming to replicate the previous release, as we do with all our core blends, this project offers the opportunity to reinterpret and polish the experience of each blend annually,” said Michael Herklots, co-owner and blender of Ferio Tego, in a press release. “Each year, we approach these blends with the same commitment to style and structure, but also with the freedom to let the tobaccos speak for themselves. Our goal is to capture the best possible expression of Elegancia and Generoso in each annual production.’
As such, the cigars wear a band with the year of their intended release, though the 2024 cigars received additional maturation, a nod to the winemaking practice of late releases. The rolling process was completed late in 2023 and the cigars have been resting ever since.
The Ferio Tego Elegancia uses an Ecuadorian wrapper, Dominican binder, and fillers from the Dominican Republic to create a full-bodied profile that the company says evokes flavors of cinnamon toast, cedar, flan, macadamia, cream, nut brittle, toasted brioche and white Burgundy. It is produced by Quesada’s Tabacos de Exportación (TABADEX) factory in Licey, Dominican Republic.
Darker, more savory flavors, such as allspice, barrel-aged porter, mocha latte, toffee, Turkish coffee, and wagyu mark the Ferio Tego Generoso. It uses a Honduran sungrown wrapper atop a Nicaraguan binder and filler, which were selected to create a focus on the complexity and depth of the flavor. These cigars are made by Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.
Both cigars are offered in a 6 x 50 toro vitola and presented in boxes of 10 cigars that the company says can be used as a travel humidor for storage. Pricing is set at $240 per box and $24 per cigar.
The cigars are scheduled to begin shipping on Aug. 27. This is the fourth release for each blend, as they debuted in 2021.
