Earlier this year, Micallef followed up the very successful Micallef Black with the Micallef Blue.  The Micallef Blue isn’t just a redo of the Black with a different wrapper, the Micallef Blue is a completely different blend.  Featuring a  San Andrés Sumatra wrapper, the Blue enters a very competitive market of sub-$10 cigars.  The vitolas offered are the same as the Black:  robusto and toro.
