Blackbird Cigar Corp. has officially launched its latest cigar line, GLITCH, in India through their continuing exclusive partnership with The India Cigar Club. The GLITCH brand introduces three distinct blends, all of which are now available in stores.
A Cigar made completely by mistake!
Each of the three GLITCH blends incorporates a combination of American and Dominican tobaccos in the filler, showcasing the brand’s commitment to quality and diverse flavor profiles. The key distinguishing feature among the blends lies in their respective wrapper options:
1. GLITCH Claro – Ecuador (Connecticut)
2. GLITCH Habano – Ecuador (Habano)
3. GLITCH Oscuro – Mexico (San Andrés)
Moreover, the binder used in the Claro and Habano blends is sourced from Mexico, while the Oscuro variant features a binder from the Dominican Republic.
Blackbird Cigar Corp. offers all three GLITCH blends in two consistent sizes:
– Blackbird GLITCH Robusto (5 x 50) — Priced at 1,100 per cigar including Tax
– Blackbird GLITCH Toro (6 x 52) — Priced at 1,100 per cigar including Tax
Jonás Santana, co-founder of Blackbird, expressed the team’s excitement about the new product, stating, “On behalf of the Blackbird Team, we are more than happy to announce this new product. For us, the feeling of a new creation is always a great motivation to keep growing in the cigar industry. This is an example of… listen to what the team has to say!! We can’t wait for you to enjoy this affordable but great cigar.”
The origin of the GLITCH line has a unique and unexpected story. Papo El Caballo, Blackbird’s blender, discovered a blend discrepancy upon returning to the factory after being away. A new employee had mistakenly labeled two different types of tobacco with incorrect codes. The resulting blend, although unintended, turned out to be exceptional. Embracing the serendipitous “glitch,” Blackbird Cigar Corp. decided to refine and develop the blend further, ultimately giving birth to the distinctive GLITCH line.
