HVC Cigars hasn’t been around for a decade but it already has a 500th anniversary release.

The HVC 500 Years Anniversary pays tribute to the 500th anniversary of the founding of Havana, for which the company is named after. It’s offered in a single 5 7/8 x 52 parejo vitola, known as tesoros, which uses a corojo 99 wrapper from Jalapa over a binder from Jalapa and criollo 98 and corojo 99 fillers from Jalapa and Estelí.

All the tobacco comes from AGANORSA’s farms in Nicaragua and it is rolled at the Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. (TABSA) factory in  Estelí.

Pricing is set at $10.60 per cigar and it is limited to 1,333 boxes of 15 cigars.

The HVC 500 Years Anniversary is expected to begin shipping in November.
