Intemperance A.W.S. IV Lonsdales Released

RoMa Craft Tobac’s Intemperance BA XXI A.W.S. IV and EC XVIII A.W.S. IV. are set for national release this weekend at Leaf & Bean in Pittsburgh, Penn. Co-founder Skip Martin is at the store for the Lonsdales’ release, which takes place today and tomorrow.

The event only cigars are available for purchase by phone and Martin and Michael Rosales will continue to hold events with the cigar, although some may be without the Lonsdales because of supply issues. The company will have 100 boxes of each blend available monthly.

“(Retailers) can order as many as they want until we are sold out,” Martin said to halfwheel.

This means the company could presumably sell out of Lonsdales this weekend, Martin said, noting that about half of May’s boxes remained as of early Friday evening.

The Intemperance A.W.S. IV is the debut release for the company’s A.W.S. series and one of the company’s event only releases. It is the first extension to the company’s Intemperance line which was introduced in early 2012.
