REYES TEAM TO LAUNCH ENORMOUS SMOKES
BY GREGORY MOTTOLA
If you have five hours to smoke a cigar, then the Rolando Reyes team has the perfect sizean 18 inch long by 70 ring stick that is part of their new Mutineer brand of huge vitolas.
Veteran cigarmaker Rolando Reyes Sr. and his son, Rolando Reyes Jr., teamed up two years ago to form Father & Son Cigars, a Westley Chapel, Florida-based cigar dis- tributor that sells cigars made in Honduras and Nicaragua. The company debuted with the launch of a limited-edition line called Rolando Reyes Sr. Limited Edition, and now produces a small-batch brand called Mutineer, a Nicaraguan Habano wrapped cigar with an Indonesian binder, and filler tobacco from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.
This year, the company will be releasing a large-format offshoot of the Mutineer line that promises colossal cigars with thicknesses up to 70 ring gauge.
The cigar line uses an Ecuadoran Sumatra madu- ro wrapper, said Reyes Jr., who began working in the business in 1959, and has been absent from the cigar industry for some time. It doesnt have any Nicaraguan tobacco in it like the regular Mutineer, and is aromatic and sweet.
While the core Mutineer line is made in Nicaragua at the American Caribbean Cigars factory, the new, beefed-up line is made in Honduras at the Puros Indios factory and will come in six sizes: Toro, 6 inches by 60 ring; Churchill, 7 1/4 by 53; Diadema, 7 1/2 by 60; a huge Pyramid, 7 1/2 by 70; an even bigger 10 inch long by 70 ring Diadema, and a monumentally gargantuan 18 inch by 70 ring cigar that Junior says should take at least 5 hours to smoke. n
