In early 2012, Fred Rewey launched Nomad Cigar Company with a single line featuring five sizes, one of which was a limited edition. With a couple of other limited editions and a new Nicaraguan line launched in 2013, Rewey continued expanding Nomad’s offerings with the announcement of a new regular production cigar called the Nomad Connecticut Fuerte. We posted the news story back in January. Add Nomad Cigar Co. to the list of companies trying to reinvent Connecticut. While the trend has become less prevalent as it was two years ago, Rewey said he decided to go the direction of “Connecticut with something a bit extra.” Enter Nomad Connecticut Fuerte. “It is crazy how hard it is to blend a Connecticut cigar,” said Rewey. “Almost two years into it and got nowhere that was anything special. Finally, we decided to go a slightly different direction with it and am really happy with the blend.” Four sizes are planned—corona, robusto, robusto gordo and toro—for a March release with pricing set between $7.90-8.50. The cigar uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, a habano binder from Ecuador with Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers.
