The newest line from Enrique Sánchez’s Global Premium Cigars has finally shipped. Last week, the company received the first batch of 1502 Nicaragua and began shipping it to retailers.

1502 Nicaragua features a white band with gold accents and is offered in a single 5 x 50 size. Like the rest of the 1502 portfolio, the cigar is rolled at Plasencia Cigars S.A. The blend is a Nicaraguan puro that uses tobaccos from Condega, Estelí, Jalapa and Ometepe—the major growing regions of Nicaragua.

Pricing is set at $6.50 per cigar and it is sold in boxes of 30.

Global Premium Cigars is distributed in the U.S. by House of Emilio.
