There will be golden hotcakes.

Next month, HVC Cigars will add the HVC Hot Cake Golden Line to its portfolio. Instead of the original Hot Cake’s Mexican San Andrés wrapper over Nicaraguan tobaccos, the Hot Cake Golden Line uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Estelí and Jalapa, Nicaragua.

It will be made at the company’s Fábrica de Tabacos HVC S.A. de Reinier Lorenzo factory in Estelí, offered in four regular production sizes:

  • HVC Hot Cake Golden Line Corona Gorda (5 5/8 x 46) — $8.30 (Box of 25, $207.50)
  • HVC Hot Cake Golden Line Laguito No.4 (4 1/2 x 52) — $9 (Box of 25, $225)
  • HVC Hot Cake Golden Line Laguito No.5 (6 x 54) — $10 (Box of 25, $250)
  • HVC Hot Cake Golden Line Gran Cañon (6 x 60) — $11.40 (Box of 25, $285)

“HVC Hot Cake Golden Line offers a mild to medium flavor profile perfect for those who appreciate a well–balanced smoke,” said the company in a press release. “The flavors are smooth and rich, with cedar, leather and cocoa notes that are sure to delight your senses.”

This is a new regular production line that will be shown off to retailers at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which takes place July 8-11 in Las Vegas, and will begin shipping in late July.
