After four years of no new products, Sans Pareil added a new blend earlier this year. Somewhat confusingly, the “gran robusto” is really the standard toro dimensions.

In 2022, ADV & McKay Cigars Co. released Barbarroja’s Invasion, not only a new chapter in the ADVentura storyline, but with a talking cigar box. Two years later, the cigar gets a response and another talking cigar box makes its way to humidors.

The Room101ification of Los Statos Deluxe entered its fourth chapter earlier this year with the Los Statos Deluxe Connecticut. It’s made at Joya de Nicaragua with a fairly unique filler blend for a Connecticut shade cigar.

This year mark a significant anniversary for Quesada Cigars: the company celebrated 50 years in the cigar business. As would be expected, the Dominican cigar manufacturer released a limited edition cigar line to commemorate the occasion.

Yes, it comes wrapped in gold foil. No, it doesn’t cost $100, or even $15.

In October of 2018, Tatuaje unveiled a new collection of limited, Miami-made Tatuaje cigars called Escasos. The following spring, the Selección de Cazador line—commonly referred to as the Brown Label—would get the Escasos treatment, getting a new wrapper and being rolled in South Florida.

Collaboration releases between General Cigar Co. and the El Titan de Bronze factory in Miami are nothing new, but this line is owned by the factory. The new blend is made with an Ecuadorian habano wrapper covering filler tobaccos from Nicaragua: the binder is grown in the Estelí region while the filler includes tobacco from the Estelí and Jalapa regions.

It took the Artesano del Tobacco team five years to develop the line, premiering it in 2023. A year later, the brand has given the line its fourth size, one quite a bit smaller than the first three in which it debuted.

Sinistro’s highest-end offering made its third appearance at the end of 2023. It’s a blend built around a decade-old wrapper leaf that undergoes a unique fermentation process.

The Montecristo 1935 Anniversary Edición Doble Diamante is priced at $150 per cigar. No, we don’t factor price into scores.

The newest release in Drew Estate’s Liga Privada H99 Connecticut Corojo line is the largest yet, a 6 x 60 gordo with a price tag of $21.14 each. It is only being sold at Drew Diplomat Program retail partner events, and each of those retailers are limited to just three boxes per event, or 75 total cigars.
