Esteban Carreras has rarely given out any details about its new products prior to the show, and 2018 was no different, as brand owner Craig Cunningham likes to keep his new cigars under wraps until they are ready to come out.
This year, he expands his popular Mr. Brownstone line with a new line extension, while also adding a new size to the original line.
Esteban Carreras Mr. Brownstone Natural
Whether or not you think the name is controversial, the cigar has been doing quite well for the company, Cunningham said, and as such he wanted to expand it, this time by giving it a natural wrapper option. He has four sizes ready to go now, while a fifth size, a corona gorda, will be ready to ship in approximately two months.
