Union Cigar Co. of Monroe, N.C. is the latest recipient of the Quesada Selección España A-.

The 8 1/2 x 48 version of the España line is a limited release cigar that is sent to one retailer per month, 10 boxes a month. Each month, Quesada selects a single retailer to receive the boxes. In previous years, the company has used similar distribution methods for special sizes of the España like the Lancero, Ninfa and Petit Belicoso.

Union Cigar Co. was previously selected as a retailer for the Petit Belicoso last year.

Suggested retail pricing for the España A- is $9.99 per cigar or $99.90 per box of 10.

Just For Him of Springfield, Mo. received the January shipment, the February boxes went to Up Down Cigar in Chicago while Smoke Inn of South Florida received the March boxes while STOGIES World Class Cigars of Houston received the boxes last month.
