For the fifth consecutive year, La Flor Dominicana has created a special cigar that happens to coincide with America’s most popular sporting event: the Super Bowl.

The La Flor Dominicana Special Football Edition 2019 is a 6 1/2 x 58 size that is oftentimes associated with the company’s Factory Press line, though the most notable feature starts about halfway down the cigar: an image of a football made by pieces of tobacco.

As for the blend, it’s all Dominican on the inside, with Ecuadorian habano and Connecticut accents for the wrapper. Pricing is be set at $16 per cigar and it will be sold in boxes of 10.

Like the four Special Football Editions before it, the cigar will only be sold in the state where the Super Bowl is hosted, this time Atlanta, Georgia.

La Flor says the cigar will ship in January.
