Atlantic Cigar Co. has just released a new, limited edition, store-exclusive size of the ADVentura The Royal Return Queen’s Pearls, offering the cigars in a box-pressed version of the original 6 x 44 corona vitola, which placed #3 on halfwheel’s Top 25 Cigars of 2020.
The new size keeps all the details of the original blend, meaning an Ecuadorian-grown, Connecticut-seed wrapper and binder, with fillers that come from the Dominican Republic, Ecuador and Nicaragua. What has changed is the addition of a box press for the cigar, as well as a secondary band indicating that it is exclusive to Atlantic Cigar Co.
“We are very happy with how this project came out,” Matthew Sieminski, director of operations at Atlantic Cigar Co., told halfwheel. “We feel that the 44 ring with the box press really changed the blend.”
Production is limited to 600 boxes of 10 cigars, with pricing set at $12.95 per cigar or $122.95 for a full box.
“Atlantic earned this by reaching the top tier from our elite account program,” said Nicole Knobel of ADV & McKay Cigar Co., adding that when stores reach that level, they can choose between receiving an exclusive vitola of an existing line, or creating an exclusive blend for the store.
The cigars are currently available for purchase.
