The next CRA Freedom Sampler will include at least two, maybe three cigars that have never been sold before. Each sampler includes 10 cigars, donated by family-owned cigar companies to help fund the Cigar Rights of America, an industry trade group.

This year’s release features tobacco from Ometepe in the vitola popularized by the Cohiba Siglo VI. It will be on shelves before Halloween, let alone Black Friday.

The 6 x 54 Muy Gordo Grande vitola has not been rolled since early this year. The company says only 56 boxes of the size remains in its inventory.

The 7 x 54 gran torpedo is the first TAA exclusive in Oliva’s history. It will head to stores in November.

First released in 2020, this annual limited edition is the strongest cigar that Drunk Chicken Cigars has released thus far. This year’s release is offered in a different vitola than previous years’ options.

Two years ago, trademark issues prevented the original Diesel Tempest from shipping to stores. Now that STG has acquired Alec Bradley, those trademark concerns are no longer a problem. The new Diesel Tempest began shipping to stores on Monday.
