Fourteen months ago, Global Premium Cigars, the parent of the 1502 brand, announced that it would be adding coronas and lanceros to its first three lines. Yesterday, the company sent out an email indicating the 5 1/2 x 42 sizes were ready to be shipped

The 1502 Emerald Corona Box Pressed will retail for $6.70, the 1502 Ruby Corona Box Pressed will retail for $6.90 and the 1502 Black Gold Corona Box Pressed will retail for $7.40. Each size is offered in boxes of 25.

All 1502 Cigars are made at Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua.
