Definition Cigars is now shipping two new sizes in its GEN413 line.

The GEN413 Lancero is a  7 x 42 vitola with an MSRP of $13.70 and the GEN413 Toro is a 6 x 52 vitola with an MSRP of $13.80. While the new sizes are regular production releases but the GEN413 Toro is packaged in 20-count boxes, while the GEN413 Lancero is being sold in 30-count boxes.

Both two new vitolas feature the same blend as the original 5 1/2 x 54 super robusto size that debuted during the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show: an Ecuadorian broadleaf hybrid wrapper covering a Mexican San Andrés binder and Nicaraguan fillers grown in Condega, Ometepe and Pueblo Nueva.

The GEN413 line was created in collaboration with Luciano Meirelles, ceo and co-founder of Luciano Cigars, and both the Lancero and Toro vitolas are being made at the Luciano Tabacos S.A. factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. In addition, the filler blend includes a tobacco Luciano Cigars has named Chincagre, which the company describes as native Nicaraguan tobacco grown in the Masatepe region.

In an Instagram message, Jamond Hackley, founder of Definition Cigars, told halfwheel that boxes of both new GEN413 vitolas started shipping last week to retailers who ordered them during the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which took place last month, while additional orders are scheduled to begin shipping to other retailers on April 13.

I have been smoking cigars for over eight years. A documentary wedding photographer by trade, I spent seven years as a photojournalist for the Dallas Morning News and the Fort Worth Star Telegram. I started the cigar blog SmokingStogie in 2008 after realizing that there was a need for a cigar blog with better photographs and more in-depth information about each release. SmokingStogie quickly became one of the more influential cigar blogs on the internet, known for reviewing preproduction, prerelease, rare, extremely hard-to-find and expensive cigars. I am a co-founder of halfwheel and now serve as an editor for halfwheel.
