HVC Cigars

It’s been nine years and 10 cigars celebrating one of the United States’ most celebrated “holidays.”

Great, now I’m hungry.

Originally released in September 2022, the HVC 500 Years Anniversary Salomon is the fourth vitola in a line that was created to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the founding of Havana, Cuba.

While this cigar is called “La Rosa 520,” the Rare of Rare is a different blend made in a different factory than the other HVC La Rosa 520s. This cigar not only marks the first time the company is working with Dominican tobacco but also the first time it’s made a cigar outside of Central America.

It’s not a vitola name you see every day, and it packs a punch you don’t experience every day.

The latest addition to HVC’s Black Friday Series also happens to be the first release in that series to be made at the company’s own factory, Fábrica de Tabacos HVC S.A. de Reinier Lorenzo in Estelí, Nicaragua.

The first size in the line that celebrates Havana’s 500th anniversary gets a redux after nearly three years in the humidor.

The fourth addition to HVC’s HVC 500 Years Anniversary line is the 6 3/4 x 56 Salomon that debuted as an exclusive release for retailers who ordered it during the 2022 PCA Convention & Trade Show.

The HVC Selección No. 1 is one of the strongest cigars on sale today.

HVC’s San Isidro line is named after a street in Havana where an infamous Cuban gangster was murdered. After nearly six years in a humidor, Charlie Minato reviews a cigar from the original release.

If there is one word to describe how my family generally celebrates the holidays, it is “chill.” We try and keep things as low key…
