Limited Edition

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.

As the name alludes to, the new cigar was created to honor Néstor Plasencia Sr.’s 75th birthday. However, instead of being sold, the cigars were sent as gifts to retailers.

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.

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. 

In March 2024, Laudisi Enterprises acquired Caldwell Cigar Co. and the Lost&Found brand as it looks to grow beyond simply being a pipe company. The Lost&Found Don’t Sit on the Furniture is one of the three first cigars to be released following the acquisition.

This $19 cigar is made with a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, a Mexican San Andrés binder and filler tobaccos grown in Nicaragua and the U.S. The total production is limited to just 5,000 cigars packaged in 10-count boxes.

With this year’s release, it means HVC has released a full decade of Black Friday cigars. For 2024, the HVC Black Friday gets some filler tobacco from the island of Ometepe.

Paul Garmirian celebrated the 25th anniversary of his eponymous brand in 2015. Nine years later, the line gets its third size, a belicoso.
