First it was CBD, now Jas Sum Kral has a cigar infused with THC.

The Jas Sum Kral Nuggs Kine Puro Selection, a 5 x 50 robusto, will be released later this year in Colorado. It uses an Ecuadorian habano wrapper over an Indonesian binder over Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí and Jalapa.

But that’s not the notable part.

This cigar will be infused with 20mg of THC, formally known as tetrahydrocannabinol. It’s best known as the main psychoactive component of marijuana.

This is the second Nuggs release following the original Nuggs from earlier this year, which was infused with hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD), a non-psychoactive component.

The Jas Sum Kral Nuggs Kine Puro Selection would mark the first known instance of an existing premium cigar brand selling a THC-infused cigar.
