In addition to Costa Platinum, Tabacosta will be bringing another new brand to the 2016 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show.

It’s El Viejo Continente, a new line using an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over Nicaraguan fillers from Condega and Jalapa. Tabacosta says the line is “medium-full.”

Three sizes are being offered: Brevium (4.3 x 56, $5.66), Maximum (6.3 x 60, $6.36) and Robustum (5 x 52, $5.46). All three cigars will be sold in boxes of 25.

Tabacos was founded in 2012, originally based in Panama, the company moved to Estelí in 2014. It currently has 200 employees and claims to sell 1.8 million cigars annually with distribution in various countries around the world.
