General Cigar Co. has announced that it will be expanding its CAO Flavours line, with the addition of a new “spicy-sweet” line called SolFyre.

The company is describing the cigar as tasting like a mixture of cinnamon and whiskey, capturing a trend that is doing well in the spirits market. It uses a Cameroon wrapper over Dominican filler. It will be offered in three sizes: Cigarillos (4 x 30, $16.99 per 20), Corona (5 1/4 x 42, $6.39) and Petit Corona (4 x 40, $4.69).

SolFyre is expected to ship this month.
