General Cigar Co. has announced that they are adding the Gigante (6″ x 60) size to their Macanudo Café and Macanudo Maduro lines. Macanudo already has a 6″ x 60 in the Cru Royale and 1968 lines, also known as Gigante. Both new additions are offered in boxes of 25 with MSRP set at $7.99 a cigar and $199.75 a box. General Cigar Co. added various sizes to the Macanudo portfolio last year at IPCPR 2011. General Cigar has told retailers that these will be “available” as of February 1st.
