It’s a barber pole but it’s also not a barber pole. The new RM Cigars Solace series will debut at the PCA Convention & Trade Show and it will make heads turn. The 6×50 Toro is half barber pole with two colours or wrapper and half normal cigar.

The cigar is unique not just in looks. The top half also has a different blend than the bottom half. Where the bottom half is the same as the RM Tigress with filler from Nicaragua, Dominican Republic and Pennsylvania, the upper part is a unique blend although the recipe sounds a lot alike with tobacco from the same countries. An Indonesian binder is used. The upper half has a Mexican San Andres wrapper, the bottom part uses Mexican San Andres and Connecticut Shade.

The release is very limited and comes in boxes of 10 cigars.
