This is the seventh year of the Cavalier Genève Limited Edition, and the first time the cigar has been a figurado shape. It’s limited to 1,948 boxes, a reference point to the melting temperature of gold.

The Long Live The Queen Maduro is an important moment: the first new cigar from Caldwell after the Laudisi acquisition, one of the first cigars from the rebuilt Tabacalera William Ventura, and the follow-up to one of last year’s headlining releases.

RoMa Craft Tobac’s newest line is a tribute to the people who have helped get the company and the associated Nica Sueño factory to where they are today.

A Cameroon-seed puro sounds like the wildest dream of some cigar smokers, myself included. JRE Tobacco Co. did just that, though the tobacco is grown in Honduras, with the cigar the latest evolution of JRE’s continued development of the crop.

Last year, Zander-Greg/Epic Cigars teamed up with the actor Chazz Palminteri for a limited edition cigar called “A Bronx Tale.” Now, it’s back as a regular line with four vitolas.

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.
