Lure Cigars announces the release of “The Bluefish” – In honor of Lieutenant Chris Watson’s 31 years of dedicated service in law enforcement, and raise awareness and funds to support the fight to defeat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
The Cause
Lou Cross of Lure Cigars approached by his friend and retail partner, Stephen Frank, owner of Boll Weevil Fine Cigars and Humidor Fine Cigars came up with an idea: to create a cigar honoring Lt. Chris Watson. Chris is a dear friend, loyal customer, and devoted fan of Lure Cigars.
On the occasion of his retirement from the Dothan Police Department after 31 years of service and following his diagnosis with ALS. To honor Chris, Lou and Stephen decided to sell the entire run to raise money to help defeat ALS.
All net proceeds from the sale of this cigar will be donated to the Alabama Chapter of the ALS Association. These donations will support the development of promising therapies and research.
The Cigar
Firstly the Bluefish features a dark and flavorful Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a binder from Esteli and a selection of premium Nicaraguan and Mexican filler tobaccos, including Esteli, Jalapa, and San Andres ligero. Lou designed the strength of this cigar to be medium-full, and that power is matched in flavor.
Finally this cigar blend features notes of rich espresso, freshly tanned leather, pleasant baking spices, along with a bit of black pepper on the retrohale. This is a larger cigar that offers a lot of smoke and an incredible amount of flavor.
