El Pulpo Octo Ocho by Artesano Del Tobacco

The El Pulpo Octo Ocho by Artesano Del Tobacco is a striking, limited presentation that marries bold flavor with artisanal craftsmanship. Instead of box-pressing, Octo Ocho is presented as three hand-braided culebras (3 × 3) for a total of nine individual cigars—a dramatic format that echoes the line’s octopus inspiration and delivers an unforgettable untying-and-lighting ritual.

Handmade in Nicaragua at the renowned AJ Fernandez factory, El Pulpo features a dark, refined Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and long-filler core. The blend is full-bodied yet balanced, engineered to deliver intensity with finesse and a long, satisfying finish.

From the first draws, expect a surge of black pepper and espresso, settling into rich waves of dark cocoa, roasted nuts, and earth. Midway, nuanced sweetness and molasses emerge alongside hints of baking spice and oak, before closing with a clean, lingering finish that showcases the San Andrés wrapper’s signature depth.

Each slender cigar within the culebra is crafted for optimal combustion and draw once untwisted. The three-culebra / nine-cigar format makes Octo Ocho ideal for curated tastings, special occasions, or sharing among aficionados who appreciate distinctive presentations and robust profiles.
