Fortaleza y Libre Cigars proudly announces the launch of its inaugural event-exclusive cigar, the #GMFF. This meticulously crafted blend represents the culmination of years of dedication to the artistry of premium cigars. “With tobaccos sourced from four distinct countries, the #GMFF stands as a testament to the innovation and craftsmanship that boutique cigar enthusiasts cherish,” said Greg Free, President of Fortaleza y Libre Cigars.
A Blend Like No Other
The #GMFF is a medium-bodied cigar that delivers an extraordinary sensory experience:
- Cold Draw: Subtle field and floral notes with a touch of woody sweetness.
- First Light: A roasted nut profile layered over the essence of a tall autumn meadow.
- First Third: Flavors envelop the palate with hints of charred barrel staves, complemented by baking spices and the initial nuttiness.
- Midpoint: The retrohale reveals cedar notes, adding depth and complexity.
- Final Third: A crescendo of flavor, combining all elements into a harmonious and satisfying finish.
Pairing Recommendations
- Whiskey: Opt for a lower-proof Irish whiskey or a well-aged American bourbon.
- Beer: A crisp lager provides a balanced companion.
- Wine: Pair with a Willamette Valley Pinot Noir or a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc.
- Coffee: A rich dark roast with a touch of cream makes for a perfect match.
The Impact
The #GMFF exemplifies the creativity and ingenuity of the boutique cigar segment. By utilizing tobaccos grown in limited quantities, Fortaleza y Libre Cigars delivers a rare and complex blend designed to delight seasoned cigar aficionados.
“Our goal with the #GMFF was to create a cigar that stands apart in our lineup and offers something truly unique to the industry,” added Greg Free.
Exclusive Availability
The #GMFF will officially debut on January 13, 2025, at B&G’s Cigar Lounge in West Carrollton, Ohio. It will not be available for wholesale or retail purchase and can only be acquired at scheduled events with a qualifying purchase.
