The world’s most popular and prestigious Griffin’s Special Edition was designed in 2012 in a black wooden box with printed in elegant moss green felt lining on the inside cover. This year’s edition is very popular, something bigger, “Corona Extra” format available. The insole of specially long mounted strong Piloto, San Vicente and Criollo tobaccos has been refined with a share of spicy Nicaraguan Jalapa Especial and aromatic Peruvian Pelo de Oro tobacco. The mild Olor binder and the grand finale – the sun ripened Ecuador Special Sungrown cover – give this full-bodied cigar so-popular, multi-faceted and round Griffin’s smoke flavor that leaves you wanting more. The Griffin’s Special Edition 2012 is available in limited quantity of 3,000 casket available worldwide.
The Corona Extra vitola for The Griffin’s Special Edition XVIII measures approximately 5.5 x 46. The Griffin’s is owned by Davidoff of Geneva.
In addition, The Griffin’s will also be releasing some prior year LE’s that have been held in the warehouse, though specifics as to years and quantities available were not made available.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
