VenturaCigar Company announced today a new line extension in the PSyKo SEVEN series: PSyKo SEVENNicaragua. This cigar is blended by Indiana Ortez daughter of tobacco industry legend Omar Ortez. Indiana Ortez is also the blender of the VenturaCigar‘s Fathers, Friends, and Fire limited edition cigar. The cigar will debut at TAA 2019.
“Whenever you want to create a new blend, you need to depend on your intuition,” says Ortez. “It’s like a recipe- you can’t force making something that’s truly great. If you enjoy the process as you go through it, your intuition will guide you.”
PSyKo SEVENNicaragua is at the Ortez factory, Condega Nicaragua. The blend uses a 2007 vintage Desflorada wrapper. It comes in boxes of 20 in three vitolas: Gordo (6”x60), Robusto (5”x50), and Toro (6”x50).
“Every cigar has a story to tell,” says Indiana. “Every puff from a favorite cigar is the story behind the growers, the workers, the blenders- the people who have dedicated their lives to the craft.”
“Indiana has such vision,” says Michael Giannini, General Manager at VenturaCigar Company. “She has a genuine, organic understanding for the nuances of tobacco, and knows how to bring it to life so the smoke can be enjoyed to the fullest. She’s a real talent, and we’re so pleased to be working with her and getting her passion and story blended into our PSyKo SEVENNicaraguacigar.”
