Lovely No. 162 Begins Shipping

Lovely Cigars’ new release paying tribute to the cigarmakers of Green Bay, Wis.—yes, that Green Bay—has begun shipping to stores.

On Friday, the Wisconsin-based company began shipping the No. 162, which is named after Local 162, the union that represented Green Bay’s cigarmakers. The line is a throwback to the early 20th century and the cigarmakers of Green Bay. Like many early 20th century cities across America, Green Bay produced cigars locally. As for the new No. 162, it’s made in Nicaragua at the Tacasa S.A. factory. It uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Sumatran binder and fillers from Nicaragua.

There are three regular production sizes available:

• No. 162 Robusto (5 x 50) — $10.50 (Box of 20, $210)
• No. 162 Corona (5 5/8 x 46) — $10 (Box of 20, $200
• No. 162 Churchill (6 1/2 x 48) — $11 (Box of 20, $220)
