Artista Cigars is excited to announce that it has officially begun shipping the David Ortiz Hall of Fame (HOF) Cigars. “We are thrilled to start fulfilling orders for our customers just in time for the U.S. baseball postseason,” said Ram Rodriguez, President of Artista Cigars. This highly anticipated release marks a significant moment in both the world of cigars and baseball, celebrating the legendary career of David Ortiz.

The HOF by David Ortiz is the newest addition to the Ortiz Series, created to honour Ortiz’s induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2022. The cigar showcases a powerful and unique blend, with a rich Mexican San Andrés wrapper complemented by a sweet Indonesian binder. The filler blend is crafted to be as bold and memorable as Ortiz’s illustrious career on the baseball field.

The HOF by David Ortiz line will be available in two distinct formats: a regular production Toro, measuring 54×6, and a Limited Edition Figurado. The Limited Edition Figurado is particularly special, with only 541 boxes being produced—a number that holds great significance in Ortiz’s career as it represents the 541 home runs he hit during his time as a professional baseball player. Each of these Limited Edition boxes will be hand-numbered, adding a unique, collectible quality to the release.

For cigar enthusiasts, the HOF Toro will come in a 20-count box and will be priced at an MSRP of $15.00 per cigar.

The Limited Edition Figurado, presented in a 10-count box, will carry an MSRP of $16.00 per cigar, offering both value and exclusivity to collectors and fans of the Ortiz Series alike.
