This year’s Racine has shipped.

Last week, L’Atelier Imports began shipping the Extension de la Racine ER16, a 4 7/8 x 50 robusto. The cigar uses a Nicaraguan sun grown criollo wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers including the Sancti Spiritus tobacco that is the signature tobacco for the brand.

It was offered to retailers who attended the IPCPR Convention & Trade Show in July, as well as accounts in Europe. Pricing is $9.25 per cigar and it is limited to 1,500 boxes of 20.
