GTO Cigars is adding a new size to its 33 Oaks brand, and it can only be purchased at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show.

The 33 Oaks Connecticut Toro Elegante is a 6 1/2 x 54 toro extra, a new size for the line that debuted last year. It uses a Connecticut shade wrapper, grown in Connecticut, over Dominican tobacco grown on the company’s farm. GTO says that the cigars are aged for a total of 12 years, two of which happen in spent bourbon barrels, which—by law—must be made of American white oak.

Pricing is set at $12 per cigar, and production is limited to 1,000 boxes of 24 cigars. GTO says it will only sell this cigar to retailers that place orders during the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which takes place July 8-11 in Las Vegas. The company expects to ship the 33 Oaks Connecticut Toro Elegante in August.
