HVC Serie A Soft Launching in Hawaii Ahead of IPCPR 2019

HVC Cigars latest release is made entirely of grade A tobacco and as such, appropriately called Serie A.

It’s a three vitola line, though one will be an exclusive size to R. Field Wine Co. of Hawaii. That size, a 5 x 50 robusto, will launch at an event on April 5, while the other two sizes will debut at the 2019 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show in late June. As for the blend, it uses AGANORSA’s Nicaraguan tobacco, highlighted by a corojo 99 wrapper.

• HVC Serie A Robusto (5 x 50) — $9.60 (Boxes of 10, $96)
• HVC Serie A Cañonazos (5 1/2 x 54)
• HVC Serie A Perlas (5 5/8 x 46)

Only the HVC Serie A Robusto will be on hand for the Hawaii event. It has a suggested retail price of $9.60 per cigar, though will likely retail for more given Hawaii’s high state taxes on cigars.
