A new version of the La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial is off to stores.

Ashton Distributors, Inc. has begun shipping a reworked version of the La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial. It still uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers, but the new blend is designed to be a bit stronger.

The packaging has also been updated slightly.

Pricing is a bit higher than before and the company has added a 6 x 60 size.

  • La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No. 1 (5 5/8 x 46) — $7.50 (Box of 25, $187.50)
  • La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No. 2 (5 x 50) — $8.25 (Box of 25, $206.25)
  • La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No. 3 (6 x 50) — $8.50 (Box of 25, $212.50)
  • La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No. 4 (7 x 49) — $8.75 (Box of 25, $218.75)
  • La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No. 5 (5 1/2 x 52) — $8.75 (Box of 25, $218.75)
  • La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No. 60 (6 x 60) — $8.90 (Box of 25, $222.50)

As it has been since it debuted in 2008, the cigar is being made at the García family’s My Father Cigars S.A. factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
