Guess you haven't been paying much attention, considering Felipe Gregorio was marketing the "Fat Boy" (3 1/2 x 55) since, oh, 2002...(technically 2000, according to the article quoted below) -

The cigars -- which look as if someone sliced a robusto in half -- were conceived by owner Philip Wynne and vice president of national sales Michael "Micky" Pegg two years ago at the Retail Tobacco Dealers Association annual trade show in San Antonio. The pudgy smoke was originally intended solely as a sales vehicle, so that cigar store owners could sample Felipe Gregorio's various blends of tobacco without taking an hour to smoke each cigar. But the oddball smokes were an unintentional hit. "Everyone complimented the size and the flavor," said Wynne, and what started out as merely a sampler size expanded into an entire line.
