Binny’s Beverage Depot is the third company to date to get an exclusive Flor de las Antillas from My Father. The Illinois-based chain of alcohol stores, most of which feature walk-in-humidors, has received 500 boxes of the Flor de las Antillas Toro Grande, a 6 x 60. This is the third exclusive release of the Flor de las Antillas this month, following Dallas-based Up In Smoke’s Lancero and the Short Churchill that went to Holt’s as part of the retailer’s Pepin Mania III sampler.

Pricing is set at $9.70 per cigar or $194.00 per box of 20. The 6 x 60 is the largest ring gauge version of the Flor de las Antillas to date. Binny’s received the cigars yesterday and has begun shipping to its retail locations. A representative for the company said the cigars would be sold through the company’s online store, although at this moment, the size is not listed.

The three exclusive sizes bring the line’s current portfolio to seven sizes. Others have claimed they are working with My Father on other sizes, but the company has refused to comment on other specific projects. The line debuted last year with just four sizes, the Toro was named Cigar Aficionado’s top cigar of the year in January.
