Curivari Debuting Buenaventura Maduro at PCA 2023

Eleven years after Curivari introduced its value-oriented Buenaventura line, the company has announced a maduro version that will debut at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show later this week.

The Buenaventura Maduro incorporates a Mexican San Andrés wrapper covering an internal blend made up entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco. For context, the original Buenaventura blend is a Nicaraguan puro that was released in three vitolas in 2012.

There will be five different sizes in the regular production Buenaventura Maduro line at launch:

• Buenaventura Maduro  BV500 MAD (5 1/4 x 50) — $7.50 (Box of 10, $75)
• Buenaventura Maduro BV560 MAD (5 1/2 x 56) — $8 (Box of 10, $80)
• Buenaventura Maduro BV600 MAD (6 x 60) — $9 (Box of 10, $90)
• Buenaventura Maduro MINI BV MAD (3 1/2 x 50) —$5.50 (Box of 20, $110)
