Earlier today Skip Martin of RoMa Craft Tobac announced that the CroMagnon Mode 5 will become the sixth regular production vitola of the company’s debut line. The move will come at IPCPR 2013 in July with the 5 x 50 Short Perfecto being offered in boxes of 24, as opposed to the boxes of 12 that the company reserves for the two event-only and single store releases, the Atlatl and Slobberknocker.
Martin tweeted the news earlier:
I think I just decided that this Mode 5 needs to be a part of the regular lineup #IPCPR2013 @… http://t.co/YDdYi758nT

The Mode 5 was announced in February as an event only cigar, Martin told halfwheel he already has informed the factory that the cigar will be a regular production release and as such changed the box count to 24.
On the RoMa Craft Tobac website the Mode 5 carries an MSRP of $6.50 meaning boxes will retailer for $156.00 plus applicable local taxes.
