The H. Upmann Connossieur B has begun arriving at La Casa del Habano (LCDH) franchises in select countries.

Tabak Kontor—an LCDH in Leipzig, Germany—posted that the cigars are on the way to its store. Due to limited quantities, the store says it won’t be selling the cigars online initially. Pricing is set at €14.70 ($17.31) per cigar.

The Connossieur B was announced last year, a follow-up to the Connossieur A that was offered only to LCDHs and Habanos Specialists, another licensing designation for retail stores from Habanos S.A. The Connossieur B measures 5 9/10 (150mm) x 54.

It also appeared in Hong Kong for a party at an LCDH, though it’s unclear whether the cigars have been sold yet in that market.
