Corona, Fox Cigar Bar Land Exclusive H.R. Signatures

In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Alejandro Robaina, White Hat Cigars has announced two new cigars, both retailer exclusives.

Corona Cigar Co. of Orlando, Fla. will receive a 7 x 38 H.R. Signature Lancero. It’s sold in bundles of 20 and priced at $12.95 per cigar. The company says these cigars have been aging for two years at the La Corona factory in Estelí.

Fox Cigar Bar of Arizona will receive a 5 1/2 x 58 Gran Toro that has been aging for five years. It’s priced at $14.95 per cigar and sold in boxes of 10.

The Lancero is an ongoing release, whereas the Gran Toro is limited to 500 boxes annually.

Like the rest of the H.R. Signature line, the two cigars use an Ecuadorian habano 2000 wrapper over a binder from Jalapa, Nicaragua and fillers from Estelí, Jalapa and Pennsylvania.
