Sources have confirmed that La Palina will be unveiling the new El Diario KBII, known as the ‘Kill Bill 2,’ at the upcoming IPCPR convention and trade show in Orlando next month.

The new KBII will be a 6 x 40 and will come in 30-count cabinet boxes. MSRP for the new cigar has not been announced.

Also debuting at the show will be a 30-count cabinet box of the existing KB, or ‘Kill Bill.” The 4 1/4 x 40 cigar had previously been sold in four-count cardboard boxes. Both the KB and KBII are part of La Palina’s El Diario line.

The KBII joins a growing lineup of new releases from La Palina, which include the new La Palina Classic and La Palina Maduro.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
