Patina Red Pill (5×54) Robusto

Patina Cigars has announced its sixth regular production line, Red Pill. It’s a new box-pressed San Andres Oscuro line that is planned to begin shipping to retailers later this month. For Patina, it marks the company’s first all box-pressed line.

In addition to the Mexican San Andres wrapper, the Red Pill features a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and a combination of U.S. and Nicaraguan fillers.

“A ‘red pill’ is an awakening to a truth that causes one to examine their understanding of reality,” commented Patina Cigars owner Mo Maali in a press release.”My red pill moment circa 2009 during the Global Financial Crisis. As a contractor with the FDIC, I was a member of teams tasked with closing banks throughout the US. This trip into the truth greatly shaped my understanding about how the global financial system works and some of the malevolent issues that are inherently embedded within the system itself. My hope is that other people will take the time to do a deep dive into how the financial system works and understand why we are seeing the inflation and widening wealth gap that is currently happening.
