Oliva Year of the Dragon Heads to China Duty Free

Add Oliva to the list of companies that are making cigars in honor of the upcoming Chinese New Year and the next symbol on the zodiac calendar, the dragon.

The Oliva Year of the Dragon is a Churchill that uses an Ecuadorian habano sun grown wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. Unlike the other Year of the Dragon cigars to be announced so far—ones from Davidoff, Gurkha, Maya Selva and VegaFina—this one will only be sold through China Duty Free Group.

The MSRP has been set at $35 per cigar or $350 per box of 10 cigars. Production is limited to 1,500 boxes of 10 cigar, which are expected to go on sale in mid-February.

“We are thrilled to introduce the Oliva Year of the Dragon Churchill Cigar in celebration of the Chinese New Year in cooperation with CDF,” said Thomas Gryson, export manager of Oliva, in a press release. “This limited-edition collection is a true embodiment of our dedication to quality and craftsmanship. We have carefully curated this offering to provide aficionados with a unique and culturally significant cigar experience, making it a must-have for collectors and enthusiasts alike.”
