Enrique Seijas was inspired to add Peruvian tobacco to the blend of the Special Edition because of his father’s love of tobacco from that country. Sadly, José Seijas passed just a few weeks after the cigar was released.

The line debuted in 2014 and was created to honor those close to Crowned Head’s personnel who had passed away in the past year. This cigar is a special limited edition to commemorate 10 years of the Las Calaveras line.

The passing of two cigar industry icons brought together two of the most well-known cigar companies to create one of the most attention-grabbing releases of 2024. Jorge Padrón blended this cigar in honor of Carlos Fuente Sr., who passed away in 2016.

It wouldn’t be Holy Grail Week if the cigars were replaceable. Now with 17 years of aging, it’s time to light up what might be my last El Centurion Lancero.

The 111 part of the name refers to the combined 111 years of age of the tobacco inside each cigar. That said, you’ll probably remember this cigar for another three-digit number: 750. Yes, it’s $750 per cigar.

Habanos S.A’s Réplica de Humidor Antiguo series debuted in 2006, releasing a large-format cigar in a humidor designed to replicate a vintage one. Announced in 2017, the El Rey del Mundo Império didn’t debut until April 2019, and it’s the most recent to be released, despite four more having been announced since.

Yes, its the biggest release of the (last) year. No, it is not cheap.

In October, the Hemingway line got a fourth wrapper option: habano-seed oscuro. As of now, it’s only offered in two vitolas and only sold at TAA stores.

While many new lines debut with a 6 x 60 gordo as part of the sizes offered, it took Drew Estate roughly 11 years to add it to the Nica Rustica Adobe line. Its debut came shortly after the news that the 7 1/2 x 54 Belly size was being discontinued.

The Nicaraguan puro was created to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the AJ Fernandez brand. There are two different vitolas: a 6 x 56 toro gordo packaged in 20-count boxes and a 6 3/4 x 54 Belicoso that is sold exclusively in branded 50-count humidors. 

Maestranza was inspired by an episode of “Chef’s Table,” references Spanish cavalry and pays tributes to the workers of Fábrica de Tabacos Nica Sueño. It’s also the newest line from RoMa Craft Tobac.
