Espinosa y Ortega (EO Brands), distributor of 601, announces their new brand, Cubao Espinosa y Ortega (EO Brands), distributor of 601, announces their new brand, Cubao. Using the Taino word for “fertile soil,” Cubao reflects the best of Cuban flavour achieved from the finest Nicaraguan and EcuadorIan tobaccos Containing 100% Nicaraguan filler and binder, the cigars, which will be available in six (6) sizes ( No.1 7-1/8 x 49 – No.2 6-1/8 x 52 Torpedo – No.3 7-1/2 x 38 Lancero – No.4 4-7/8 x 50 – No. 5 6-1/8 x 50 – No.6 5-1/2 x 52 ) are finished with an exquisite Ecuadorian grown Sumatra wrapper. Currently being produced and aged, at Pepin Garcia’s Tabacalera Cubana S.A in Esteli, Nicaragua, the company intends to introduce them to retailers at the IPCPR (formerly, the RTDA) in La s Vegas, July 14th thru 18th. The introduction of Cubao follows, by two (2) years the successful launch of EO’s 601, which comes in four (4) distinctive blends: the same Nicaraguan filler and binder overlayed with a wrapper leaf of Connecticut (black label), Habano (red label), Maduro (blue label) or Oscuro (green label). With a different flavour profile from the 601, the company believes they will not be competing with the flagship brand, rather it will compliment it. Espinosa stressed that “…a true cigar smoker needs variety, and will embrace the new stick, knowing that Pepin and EO can be counted on for the consistency of their product.” ---------------------------------------------------------- United Tobacco Inc. is a privately-held corporation with its headquarters in Sunrise, Florida.
