At this month’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show, four CLE Cigar Co. lines will receive three new sizes. The company’s CLE Connecticut, CLE Corojo, CLE Habano and CLE Azabache will be the ones receiving the extensions.
Those three sizes are 4 x 54, 4 x 60 and 4 x 69.
- CLE Connecticut/Corojo/Habano 54 x 4 — $7.62
- CLE Connecticut/Corojo/Habano 60 x 4 — $8.16
- CLE Connecticut/Corojo/Habano 69 x 4 — $9.62
Pricing for the Azabache vitolas is slightly higher:
- CLE Azabache 54 x 4 — $7.66
- CLE Azabache 60 x 4 — $8.66
- CLE Azabache 69 x 4 — $9.66
While the blends are different, the listed varietals are largely the same: different wrappers over a Honduran binder and fillers from Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru.
Update (July 6, 2018) — The size is 4 x 69, not 4 x 70.
