The El Pulpo Octo Ocho Culebra Single Box of 3’s from Artesano del Tobacco crafts a visually striking Nicaraguan masterpiece at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory, intertwining three slender 7-inch (178 mm) x 38 ring gauge panatela cigars into a serpentine culebra formationprotected in an elegant wooden coffin for preservation. Cloaked in a rustic, oily Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and long-filler from Fernandez’s Estel estates, this full-bodied trio delivers potent yet refined 90-minute sessions per cigar, unveiling rich earth, dark chocolate, black pepper, oak, leather, peanuts, toasted nuts, and subtle maple sweetness with meaty undertones and creamy retrohale spice. Designed for separation before smoking, its flawless construction ensures even burn despite the twist, suiting adventurous connoisseurs who relish bold complexity and conversation-starting novelty in every intertwined pull.
