The God of Fire KKP Never Back Down is a two-vitola line made up of all Dominican tobacco, including an “upper priming” wrapper grown on Arturo Fuente’s Chateau de la Fuente farm. There will also be two different assortment humidors, 10-count boxes, cutters, lighters and two extremely limited cabinet humidors.

The lighter is the first of four different accessories in Colibri’s Heritage Cube Collection to ship to stores. Available in six different colorways, each lighter features both a single soft flame and a double-jet pyramid flame.

Made entirely of Kentucky-seed fire-cured tobaccos grown in Italy, the Toscano Italia are not put into presses and have pre-cut feet on both ends. The cigars are also rolled sans a binder leaf, meaning the filler tobaccos are held in place simply by the wrapper.

The two new finishes of the company’s popular Le Petit cigar knives features a design that mimics the topography of the moon carved on their handles. According to the company, the Le Petit Silver Moon 5th Anniversary Edition is the 100th Le Petit design.

Released in April 2023, the third addition to Davidoff’s Camacho Factory Unleashed line is composed of Mexican San Andrés wrapper covering a binder grown in Honduras and a filler blend of tobaccos sourced from the Dominican Republic and Honduras. Like the first two cigars in the series, it was also rolled with an unfinished foot, meaning the filler tobaccos extend slightly past the bottom of the wrapper.

The third incarnation in the Hit & Run brand is made with a Mexican San Andrés wrapper covering an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and filler tobaccos grown in Nicaragua—including corojo 98 and an undisclosed varietal—and in Pennsylvania. Like the original blend that was released in 2017, the newest version of the brand is being produced by the Ventura family in the Dominican Republic.

This is the fourth different vitola for the Don Reynaldo line, which is named after Ronald Gellis, the father of Kyle Gellis, Warped’s founder. Made at the El Titan de Bronze factory in Miami, it has an MSRP of $24 per cigar and is limited to 750 10-count boxes that started shipping to retailers in May.

The second release in Fratello’s sub-brand is also a 5 1/2 x 54 robusto extra that has an MSRP of $10 each. As with the first release, its name references Prohibition.

This is the second vitola in the line that debuted last year. The name is a term the factory uses to describe the peak temperature that pilónes reach while tobacco cures.

The new release measures 6 x 46 and incorporates the same Ecuadorian Sancti Spiritus wrapper and Nicaraguan fillers, including pelo de oro. Each cigar has an MSRP of $16 and production is limited to 1,000 boxes of 10, for a total of 10,000 cigars.

In April 2022, Brooks Whittington and Charlie Minato traveled to Tabacalera A. Fuente y Cia, the collection of buildings located in Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic, that make up “the Arturo Fuente factory.”
