Santa Clara Cigars has announced it will be distributing the Montecristo X Bardstown. This is the first in Santa Clara’s new Distillers Select Series featuring collaborations. Santa Clara Cigars is the brick-and-mortar distribution arm of JR Cigars and Casa de Montecristo, which is separate from Altadis U.S.A..
Montecristo X Bardstown was blended to pair with Bardstown Bourbon’s Origin Series Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Produced at Plasencia Cigars, the cigar is a 100% Nicaraguan puro that comes in one size, 6 x 52. Production has been limited to 7,000 ten-count boxes.
“At Bardstown Bourbon, we work to explore the boundaries of flavor,” said Dan Callaway, Bardstown Bourbon Co. Master Blender. “We’re pleased to partner with Montecristo to create a new tasting experience for our customers.”
“This release is a tribute to the art of blending, both in cigars and bourbon, and marks an exciting beginning for the Distillers Select series,” said Gabe Diaz, Montecristo Brand Manager at Altadis U.S.A..
