L'Atelier Cote d'Or '19

Translating to “gold coast” in French, Côte d’Or debuted in 2015.  This year’s release features the same blend: Nicaraguan tobacco under a dark, Ecuadoran wrapper the company refers to as Sancti Spiritus. Part of the filler blend incorporates a rare tobacco known as Pelo d’Oro, grown by the Garcia family in Nicaragua. It’s prized by cigarmakers for its flavor, but its susceptibility to disease results in low yields and is rarely used in large quantities. According to the company, this is a medium-bodied cigar.

The new Côte d’Or 2019 measures 6 inches by 50 ring gauge and retails for $18. While previous editions were named after the year of release, the 2019 in this cigar’s name does not refer to the year it was rolled. Rather, it’s the year the company intended to release it (other more immediate projects caused delays).
