As was reported last year, Altadis USA is preparing to launch its fifth regional edition next month, the Montecristo Chicago Connoisseur Edition. The Windy City release follows two New York City releases, Texas Edition and Las Vegas Edition.

The Chicago Edition will launch the cigar at an April 11 event at Casa de Montecristo in Countryside, Ill. A spokesperson for Altadis USA declined to provide any additional details of the cigar to halfwheel.
