Davidoff’s Vault program will get a new entry on Thursday, Nov. 10, in the form of the Davidoff Small Batch Verano.

It’s a 6 x 60 cigar that Davidoff says was rolled in 2016. The company says its blenders were inspired by the Dominican summer season, hence the use of the word “verano,” Spanish for summer, as its name. It uses an Ecuadorian wrapper over a Dominican hybrid 238 seco binder and four Dominican fillers: piloto visos from two regions, San Vicente viso and Yamasá viso. A total of 600 bundles of 10 cigars will be released worldwide.

In the U.S., the Small Batch Verano has an MSRP of $39 per cigar. It will be offered through Davidoff’s own stores as well as a limited number of other retailers.

Davidoff’s Vault program has seen the company rerelease a variety of previous limited editions, as well as unreleased cigars. These cigars are packaged in paper bundles of 10 and are sold through Davidoff’s online and flagship stores.
