EAST INDIA TRADING COMPANY TO RELEASE THE ‘ROGUE’

(Tamarac, FL) – May 24, 2013:  The East India Trading Company is proud to announce the upcoming cigar launch of ‘Rogue’. This much-anticipated brand will hit cigar stores nationwide this summer and be distributed by the Gurkha Cigar Group, Inc.

The mischievous Rogue is the third cigar release under the East India Trading Company and also the name of the top secret, ‘pre-release’ cigar that the company has been featuring at in-store events during the first quarter of 2013, which has received rave reviews from cigar enthusiasts.

“We are very excited about the upcoming launch of Rogue,” said Juan Lopez, National Sales Director of Gurkha Cigar Group. “We feel this is one of the most complex blends we have come out with to date and we are looking forward to this cigar going to market.”

Using a carefully selected blend of tobaccos, Rogue is a bold, box-pressed cigar with a pronounced complexity and richness on the finish, beautifully constructed with an  un-finished foot.

The blend features a Golden Ecuadorian Habano wrapper, Rare Ecuadorian binder, and 3-year aged Nicaragua, Honduras & Dominican Republic Ligero filler tobaccos.

This full-flavored cigar has complex tasting notes of spice, rich tobacco, and roasted chestnuts that make this blend the optimum cigar for indulgence.
Wrapped in ornate ribbons, Rogue will be available in 20-count wooden boxes and will offer a full range of vitolas:

51/2  x 46 – Rascal –  MSRP  $5.99
5 x 52 –  Tyrant –  MSRP   $6.99
6 x 54 –  Ruthless –  MSRP  $7.99
