Casa Magna XV Anniversary Begins Shipping in the U.S.
It’s been 15 years since Quesada’s Casa Magna line debuted. To mark that occasion, the Dominican cigar company has created a special, limited edition version, which is now shipping to stores in the U.S.
The Casa Magna XV Anniversary is offered in a single 6 x 54 toro extra size that uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. While the original Casa Magna line—along with many subsequent versions—was made by Plasencia in Nicaragua, this cigar is made at Quesada’s Tabacos de Exportación factory in the Dominican Republic.
The MSRP is set at $15 per cigar and production is limited to 3,500 boxes of 15 cigars.
“Raquel and I started working on this project with the factory team last summer,” said Manuel “Manolo” Quesada Jr. in a press release when the cigar was announced in May. “We knew since day one what we wanted but took us a while to figure it out. Sometimes a project comes to life as fast as the first blend thought in mind, and this was not the case.”
Quesada says that European distributors should receive the cigar in early November and it will head to Asian stores by the end of 2023.
