At next week’s TPE 2024 trade show, Cavalier Genève will show off new 5 3/4 x 44 corona vitolas for two of its lines: BII Viso Jalapa and Black Series II.

The BII Viso Jalapa is a Nicaraguan puro that uses a wrapper from the Jalapa region over habano-seed tobaccos for the binder and filler. This is the first new regular production size for the line since it debuted in 2021.

Cavalier Genève’s Black Series II debuted in 2017. It uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. This is also the sixth regular production vitola for the line, though the company also makes two additional limited production sizes.

Of note, these two cigars are round parejos, while the other vitolas in the line are box-pressed.

Both cigars have an MSRP of $11.20 per cigar. Cavalier Genève produces its cigars at the company’s Fábrica Centroamericana de Tabaco S.A. factory in Honduras.

TPE 2024 takes place Jan. 31-Feb. 2 in Las Vegas. Cavalier says the cigars should ship in the first half of February.
