Sometimes a Double-Barrel Cigar is Just a Double-Barrel Cigar

The “3 Tierras Premium Cigar” from Felipe Gregorio, Inc. is being billed as the world’s first double-barrel shotgun cigar.

It’s two cigars fused together at the mouth-end.

The Cigar is said to be made with a Dominican-grown piloto-Cubano leaf mini cigar and a Habano #92 Nicaraguan tobacco mini cigar. The two cigars are merged into a pyramid-shaped head, which is wrapped for about one-third the length of the cigar with a third leaf of Brazilian Arapiraca.

The Cigar is offered in Escopeta (two 5 x 30 cigars) and Lupara (4-3/4 x 26) varieties. They’re sold in 20-count boxes. The Escopeta variety is priced at $4.80 and the Lupara variety is priced at $4.25.
