Dominion Cigar is new to the U.S. market, but not new to the cigar industry. The Coquitlam, British Columbia-based cigar company is launching two new brands in the U.S., both of which are expected to ship in early 2017.
Dominion Black Lotus Maduro
The Dominion Black Lotus Maduro is a new blend that is based on the company’s Black Lotus release, but using a Mexican San Andrés maduro wrapper along with a Nicaraguan habano maduro binder and filler tobacco from both Nicaragua and Honduras. It will launch in only vitola — a 6 x 52 toro — and will have an MSRP of $9.50 each packaged in boxes of 20.

Prices have not been set as of yet, and the cigar is expected to ship in September.
