After being on sale for more than a decade in Switzerland, the Patoro Gran Añejo Reserva Juancito will be available for sale at American retailers.

At next month’s 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show, Patoro will begin taking orders for the Gran Anejo Reserva Juancito, a 4 x 44 petite perfecto. Like the rest of the Patoro Gran Añejo Reserva line, it uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper over a Dominican binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic. The MSRP is set at $14 per cigar or $700 for a box of 50.

This particular vitola is named after a particular cigar roller, Juan, who was the first person to roll this size at the De Los Reyes factory in the Dominican Republic. Patoro, which is based in Switzerland, has many cigars that it sells in Europe but not the U.S. Year by year, the company has slowly added these vitolas to its American catalog.

The company says it will be ready to ship to stores immediately following the 2024 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which takes place March 23-25 in Las Vegas.
