Casa de Montecristo stores around the country will be receiving a new exclusive from Caldwell Cigar Co.

It’s called Casa by Caldwell, a 6 x 50 toro that uses a Mexican San Andrés claro wrapper over a Sumatra binder and Dominican fillers. Suggested retail price is $10 per cigar, though Casa de Montecristo operates stores in a variety of states with different local taxes.

An initial shipment of 300 boxes of 10 cigars have been created, which are being sold to VIP members.

Casa de Montecristo is a division of Tabacalera USA, which is owned by Imperial Brands, plc. Its sister companies include JR Cigar and Altadis U.S.A.

There are a total of 28 retail stores across the country, 19 of which are company owned. Not all stores will receive the Casa by Caldwell.
