Oliva Cigar Co. has a new way to celebrate the Christmas season: an Advent calendar full of cigars.

The Oliva Holiday Countdown Calendar is a sampler of 25 cigars, each designed to open one cigar per day on the days leading up to Christmas. Oliva says that the cigars inside will come from the company’s Connecticut Reserve, Serie G, Serie O, Serie V, and Serie V Melanio lines, along with some limited edition cigars. While some of the cigars included will be limited editions, the company says none of the cigars will be new limited editions.

It has an MSRP of $200 and will be limited to 10,000 samplers. Oliva plans to have the cigars in stores by Oct. 1.

Oliva is unlikely to be the only cigar company with a 2021 Advent calendar as Tatuaje has announced plans for one as well.
