HVC La Rosa’s 520 is back.

The 5 1/2 x 54 release from HVC Cigars was released last year in the form of 150 boxes of 20 cigars, now the cigar is back, limited to 250 boxes of 20.

It’s once again a Nicaraguan puro with a corojo 99 wrapper from Jalapa. The pricing remains $9.60 per cigar. It will debut this Thursday at Tobacco Grove in Maple Grove, Minn.

The cigar finished number 10 on halfwheel’s top 25 cigars of 2015.

It is named after the home address for Reinier Lorenzo’s family home in Havana.

While this is expected to be the final release of the La Rosa 520 in this size, there will likely be another side made as an exclusive for retailers who place orders at the 2016 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, which begins July 25 in Las Vegas.
