Kuuts Adds Roadking, Updates Portfolio for IPCPR 2016

It’s not a revamp, but it’s a pretty big change.

Kuuts, LLC will show off a much different version of its offerings of cigars for the U.S. market when the IPCPR Convention & Trade Show kicks off in two weeks. The most notable of those changes are the inclusion of two lines from the company’s new ceo for U.S. operations, Steve Ysidron.

The Gonzo Santeria and Carnavale lines will both become part of the company’s portfolio, as well a new Kuuts Roadking, Miró White Label and Placeres Reserva Estate Grown. Ysidron declined to disclose blends of the new items saying the company was still figuring out what it would make public due to the impending FDA regulations.

Interestingly, all the new cigars will be offered in the same three sizes: Robusto (5 x 54), Toro (6 x 52) and Gordo (6 x 60).

Carnavale will retail for $8.20-9; Gonzo Santeria carries an MSRP of $9.70-10.50; Kuuts Roadking is priced at $7.20-8.20; Miró White is priced at $8-9.10 and Placeres Reserve Estate Grown will be priced between $8.70-9.60.

The 2016 IPCPR Convention & Trade Show begins July 25 in Las Vegas.
