Cesar Cigars has confirmed the first of its two new releases slated for next week’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, a limited edition called Profeta.

The cigar comes in two wrapper options, an Ecuadorian habano and a Mexican San Andrés, both with an Ecuadorian corojo binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

It is being offered in three sizes, the AK-52 (6 x 52), AK-60s (5 1/2 x 60) and the AK-60 ( 7 x 60). All are presented in 10-count boxes and are coming from the company’s Fabrica de Cesar factory in the Dominican Republic. Pricing will be fall between $14-18 per cigar, with shipping expected to begin about a month after the trade show.

Andy Scharfman, the company’s vice president of sales and marketing, told halfwheel that the cigar is “extremely full bodied,” offering a toasty pepper lead note and is very generous with the amount of ligero used. He added that it is being limited to just 500 boxes of each size, for a total run of 15,000 cigars. A second release is tentatively scheduled for 2016, but details about that are still being finalized.

Davidoff is the official sponsor of halfwheel's coverage of the 2015 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
