While General Cigar Co. has remain relatively mum about its 2013 IPCPR trade show and convention plans, at least one line has leaked out ahead of the opening of the show on Sunday. Late Friday evening, a representative from the company posted a picture of a cigar banded CAO Flathead 554 on Twitter. No further details were included in the tweet, except “coming to a store near you.”

Elsewhere, La Gloria Cubana has indicated that the brand will have a new cigar, but no other information has been released.
