Artista has undergone quite a few subtle changes over the years with the overall effect of tightening its portfolio and its name. Once known as Tabacalera El Artista, the company is known today as simply, Artista, and its cigars are becoming known for producing fantastic smoking experiences at wallet-friendly prices that rarely rise above $10, and the company’s 2025 PCA Show release offers more of the same.
The new Artista Colorado is available in Robusto (5 x 54) or Toro (6 x 50) vitolas. Made from an Ecuadorian Corojo wrapper an Indonesian binder and undisclosed filler tobaccos, the Artista Colorado is a medium-bodied smoke that offers notes of cedar, earth, white pepper and natural sweetness. Packaged in 20-count boxes with MSRP’s of $8.28 for the Robusto and $9 for the Toro, the cigars will be available beginning in the middle of May.
