EL Pulpo The Squid

El Pulpo “The Squid” is the latest deep-sea creation from Artesano del Tobacco’s bold and aquatic-themed line. Handcrafted by A.J. Fernandez in Nicaragua, this full-bodied masterpiece features a near-black Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a robust Nicaraguan blend, delivering a rich and powerful smoking experience. Measuring 6 ½" x 60 in a shapely Salomon vitola, The Squid lives up to its name with a long, tapered body, box-pressed form, and a striking splayed pigtail cap that mirrors the sea creature it was inspired by. Each cigar is a visual showpiece as well as a flavor-packed indulgence. Presented in elegant boxes of 10 and priced at $20 per cigar, The Squid joins the acclaimed El Pulpo lineup—home to unique sizes like The Eel lancero, The Fry short robusto, and the Belicoso Grande, which earned Cigar Aficionado’s No. 10 Cigar of 2023. Dark, bold, and undeniably distinctive, El Pulpo The Squid is more than a cigar—it’s an experience from the deep. El Pulpo The Squid is available at
