Made entirely of Kentucky-seed fire-cured tobaccos grown in Italy, the Toscano Italia are not put into presses and have pre-cut feet on both ends. The cigars are also rolled sans a binder leaf, meaning the filler tobaccos are held in place simply by the wrapper.

Since 2020, the Asylum Anniversary Series has been offered in 11/18 and 7 x 70 vitolas. This year marks the first time that the cigars will come in tubos instead of coffins.

For the fourth year in a row, Quesada’s annual Oktoberfest release uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper. In addition to the three core sizes, the Kaiser Ludwig and Kugel vitolas are available or 2024.

Late last year, Gurkha filed a trademark lawsuit over Davidoff’s Limited Edition 2024 Year of the Dragon cigar. The two sides are also fighting a related legal dispute at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
