BG Meyer, the collaboration between Camacho Cigars and screenwriter Rob Weiss have announced their third line. BG Meyer Gigantes is set to start shipping on April 15th. The name Gigantes is a play on the Gigante format which is known to have bold and robust profile.

In a press release announcing BG Meyer Gigantes, Rob Weiss said, “The new BG Meyer Gigantes pays tribute to those towering spirits that have
lead us to action by example. Titans of character. Fearless pioneers. Those
legends that influence our lives. Inspire our own personal journey. They are
