Early in 2021, Protocol released its first cigar of the year – an ongoing single store release for Vintage Cigar Lounge in Westerly, Rhode Island known as the Protocol Coppers.
In the case of Vintage Cigar Lounge and Club, it is a retail establishment that is law enforcement owned and operated. “Coppers” is an old time word for police officers. The name was derived from the fact that roofing material was used to make police officer badges. In Britain, the police also received that name because of the shiny buttons on their uniforms. Given the origin of the name “Coppers” and that the cigar is for a place called “Vintage Cigar Lounge,” a vintage look was incorporated into the packaging.
Blend and Origin
Like all Protocol Cigars, Protocol Coppers is produced at Erik Espinosa’s La Zona factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. It consists of an Ecuadorian (Habano) Rosado wrapper over a Nicaraguan-forward blend. One thing that is noteworthy is the use of Dominican tobacco in this blend.
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Rosado
Binder: Nicaraguan Habano
Filler: Dominican, Nicaraguan Esteli & Condega.
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Factory: La Zona SA
Vitolas Offered
Protocol Coppers is offered in one size – a 5 5/8 x 46 Corona Gorda. The initial production run was 200 ten-count bundles, but the intention is to keep this as an ongoing production offering for Vintage Cigar Lounge.
