The Cigar Agency’s Ortsac brand is set for another expansion, this time two new lines for its Ortsac 1962 line, both debuting at IPCPR 2012. A Habano and Maduro version are both coming to the Ortasc 1962 line. According to Victor Vitale, both are being made in Honduras at Tabacalera Aguilar and both will receive a Robusto, Toro, 6 x 60 and what Vitale describes as a “first of its kind” 6 x 66. The Habano version is a Nicaraguan puro using Oliva tobaccos, whereas the Maduro will use a San Andrés wrapper over the Nicaraguan fillers.
