Gran Habano Adding Persian King La Contra at IPCPR 2019

Gran Habano’s Persian King line will get a new addition in the form of La Contra, a fully finished cigar wrapped in another leaf of tobacco.

Persian King La Contra will be offered in Natural and Maduro versions, both Nicaraguan puros with a piece of Connecticut tobacco placed at the foot and twisted.

• Persian King La Contra Natural/Maduro Rajah (6 x 50) — $6 (Box of 50, $300)
• Persian King La Contra Natural/Maduro Tiger (6 x 60) — $7 (Box of 50, $350)

Gran Habano says the La Contra is stronger than the original Persian King. It is produced by Gran Habano in Danlí, Honduras.
