Featuring an indulgent collection of five proprietary tobaccos from four different countries, each aged between three and six years, Foundry\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s foundation is amplified through an eight year old wrapper developed by General Cigar. Called H-47 Pleno Sol, the lustrous wrapper imparts a deeply complex, layered smoking experience like no other.<\/p>\n<p>The four-cigar collection is accessibly-priced, and will make its mark on tobacco retail starting in late-October. Foundry features these new cigars: <strong>Wells<\/strong> (6\u00e2\u20ac\u009dx 50, SRP per cigar is $7.95); <strong>Lovelace<\/strong> (6 \u00c2\u00bc \u00e2\u20ac\u009d x 54, SRP per cigar is $8.45); <strong>Talbot<\/strong> (5\u00e2\u20ac\u009d x 60, SRP per cigar is $8.95) and <strong>Cayley<\/strong> (6\u00c2\u00a0 \u00c2\u00bd\u00e2\u20ac\u009d x 60 x 56 x 43, SRP per cigar is $9.45). Each frontmark is presented with a unique box design and features both a traditional paper band and a steampunk-inspired metal gear band.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General Cigar is proud to introduce FOUNDRY, a new boutique collection created to amplify the artistry and romanticism of premium<a href=\"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/?p=1274\"> [Read the full story &#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[155],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1274","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-cigar-industry-news"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p16MGD-ky","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1274","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1274"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1274\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1277,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1274\/revisions\/1277"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1274"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1274"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.inthehumidor.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1274"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
