Ferio Tego is proud to announce Ferio Tego Milestones, created in collaboration with the Miles Davis Estate and music company Reservoir as part of this year’s Miles Davis Centennial celebration. The centennial marks one hundred years since Davis’ birth in May 1926.
The 6 x 50 toro-sized Milestones takes its name from the landmark 1958 Miles Davis album and its title track. The blend features an Ecuador-grown Connecticut seed wrapper, Honduran binder, and fillers from Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic.
Presented in ten-count boxes ($185) featuring a silhouette of Miles Davis prominently on the lid, each box of Milestones includes one of four commemorative 5 x 7 reproductions of original Miles Davis sketches, presented in an envelope inside the box.
The editions are identified as Sketch One, Sketch Two, Sketch Three, and Sketch Four. Retailers will receive the release in complete four-sketch box sets, made up of one box of each sketch edition.
“This cigar was created to reflect qualities I admire in Miles’ most enduring work; approachability, sophistication, structure, nuance, expression, restraint, and depth,” Michael Herklots, co-owner and blender of Ferio Tego, said in a press release. “One does not need to be an expert to love Miles Davis, but experts have spent lifetimes studying his music. This cigar was created with that in mind. It is approachable and appealing, yet structured and nuanced. Easy for anyone to enjoy, with plenty of depth for the developed palate.”
Herklots is a graduate of Berklee College of Music with a degree in drum set performance. He studied and performed the music of Davis throughout his education and career as a musician. Herklots performed in the Miles Davis Ensemble while at Berklee.
Each box also includes a QR code linking to a playlist curated by Herklots, Reservoir, and the Miles Davis Estate.
