There are two exclusive cigars that Jas Sum Kral will bring to its annual Ristefari event at The Golden Leaf in Hobart, Ind.; both extensions to existing lines.

One is a special version of the Tyrannical Buc blend, another barberpole version that will be released during a Ristefari event. This year, it’s a 5 x 50 robusto that Jas Sum Kral says has been aged for two years. It uses Connecticut broadleaf and Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrappers over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Pennsylvania. It will have an MSRP of $12 per cigar and is limited to 500 cigars.

Last year, Jas Sum Kral released a Tyrannical Buc Barberpole Toro during the Ristefari event.

In addition, there will be a new version of the Toothpick 2.0, specifically a Connecticut version. The Jas Sum Kral Toothpick 2.0 Connecticut uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper over the same filler blend as the other Toothpick 2.0 cigars: an Indonesian binder and fillers from Nicaragua. All Toothpick 2.0 cigars are Cuban sandwich cigars, meaning they contain mixed fillers.

It will have an MSRP of $7 per cigar and is limited to 50 boxes of 50 cigars.

Like the rest of Jas Sum Kral’s portfolio, the cigars are rolled at Tabacalera de Aragon S.A. in Nicaragua.

Ristefari takes place March 12 at The Golden Leaf.
