The second size of the HVC 10th Anniversary line will begin shipping to stores tomorrow.
It’s called the HVC 10th Anniversary 54, a reference to the cigar measuring 5 inches by 54 ring gauge. Like the original, a 6 1/2 x 50 toro extra that was made to celebrate the company’s 10th anniversary in 2021, it is a Nicaraguan puro that uses a corojo 99 wrapper over corojo 99, corojo 2012 and criollo 98 fillers.
One change compared to the original; this cigar is made at the company’s Fábrica de Tabacos HVC S.A. de Reinier Lorenzo, which opened in 2022, whereas the original 6 1/2 x 50 size was made at Agricola Ganadera Norteña S.A., the factory best known as TABSA. Both factories are located in Estelí, Nicaragua.
The MSRP for the 10th Anniversary 54 is set at $13.90 per cigar and it is sold in boxes of 10 cigars.
