Artista Cigars Artista Studio Works
The El Artista S.R.L. tobacco factory from Tamboril in the Dominican Republic is known to have reorganized its product portfolio in 2022. As part of this, this category was also completely redefined. Its purpose is to bring together limited and other special editions that are not part of the manufacturer’s regular lineup. The section called ASW (Artista Studio Works) is also intended to showcase Dominican artists with cool, cigar-inspired artwork and goods such as humidors and wall art. Radhames “Ram” Rodriguez, President of Artista Cigars, also commented: “We still plan to do that, but in the future we will also use Artista Studio Works as a place to showcase our more unconventional and lesser-known side. The Artista Studio Works Paperboy cigars are a step in that direction.”
Artista Studio Works: The Exclusive Paperboy Cigar Series from Artista Cigars
Currently, only one vitola is produced as a Petite Corona in a 4 x 44 format. The lighter version comes with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, while the darker one features a Mexican San Andrés wrapper. Apart from the wrapper, the filler blend is the same: a Dominican Negrito binder, along with tobacco from Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and the USA. Here you can find an overview of all cigars from Artista Cigars.
