Jas Sum Kral has announced that its new Crna Nok Magija will debut in mid-August.

The Crna Nok Magija is a new 8 x 48 presidente size for the Crna Nok line, which debuted in 2016. It uses the same blend as the other vitolas, which means a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper over a Mexican San Andrés binder and fillers from Nicaragua. Magija has an MSRP of $15 and will come packaged in individual coffins.

“With Crna Nok Magija, we wanted to pay homage to the fascinating history and mysticism surrounding Macedonia and the Balkans dark craft of Magjja,” said Riste Ristevaki, founder of Jas Sum Kral, in a press release. “This blend is an invitation to embark on a captivating journey through time and embrace the spiritual depths of the Balkan region.”

It will debut during the second week of August at Rudy’s Cigar Lounge in Fort Wayne, Ind. as part of the retailer’s 10th anniversary celebration. This is the latest in a list of exclusives or debuts that Jas Sum Kral has done at Rudy’s.

In a press release, Ristevaki said that the Magija will be released at “undisclosed schedules and retail locations,” though he said it would be an annual release.
