Nat Sherman recently launched The Bench, a limited-edition collection of cigars that includes The Legacy Series - created to celebrate the Shermans' most loyal employees. Sam Perry, who has worked at Nat Sherman for more than two decades, is the first employee to be honored. In 21 years of working for the brand, Sam has gone from stockroom duty to serving the likes of Bill Cosby and Charles Barkley and now having a cigar named after him. After starting in the stockroom back in 1990, Sam was quickly promoted to sales associate - winning over, in addition to Mr. Cosby and Mr. Barkley, such legendary customers as Milton Berle and Sammy "The Bull" Gravano to name a few. To show its appreciation, Nat Sherman created "The Sam," a 6x50 Toro -- Sam's favorite -- featuring a blend of filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua and Peru. A Dominican binder and Ecuadorian-grown Connecticut wrapper finish this off. The cigar, available in boxes of ten for $79.25 plus tax, will be available again in March after quickly selling out during its initial run in December.
Nat Sherman is also introducing The Timeless Collection. Available at retailers nationwide beginning this month, the collection will make its global debut at the fifth annual ProCigar Festival in Santiago, Dominican Republic. The collection was inspired by retailer and consumer feedback, with 200 of the industry's most discerning palates shaping taste, packaging and price. It features a unique blend of aged Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, held with a Dominican binder and finished with a Honduran wrapper. Nat Sherman collaborated with the Quesada family of MATASA to produce this series, the same partnership used to create its Metropolitan line of cigars.
