Cigars

This is the fifth TAA exclusive release that Villiger has released in as many years, and each of those five blends have been made a different factories. For the 2024 release, Villiger turned to Fábrica de Puros Maya Selva Cigars factory located in Danlí, Honduras.

This is a corona gorda vitola of the Aquitaine EMH Frenchy, a cigar named after John D’Oliver, who was an employee at Roma Craft Tobac at the time the cigar was released. Each cigar has an MSRP of $12 per cigar and the total production is limited to just 650 bundles of 10 cigars.

In 2023, both Joya de Nicaragua and the TAA celebrated their 55th anniversary. In 2024, Joya made a TAA exclusive version of Cinco de Cinco, its 55th anniversary cigar.

The 2024 release of Alec Bradley’s Fine & Rare marked the 14th installment of the line created to show that 10 tobaccos could be successfully used in a blend. It’s also likely the first one developed by the Scandinavian Tobacco Group team since the acquisition of Alec Bradley in 2023.

The limited edition was created to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the E.P. Carrillo brand that Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. founded with his daughter and son. Interestingly, the blend features a Nicaraguan binder from the country’s Jalapa region that E.P. Carrillo claims is 15-years-old.

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.
