Tomorrow, Quesada Cigars will begin shipping a pair of new releases: the Casa Magna Connecticut and Quesada Oktoberfest 2022.

The Casa Magna Connecticut uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. This is a regular production line that is made at Quesada’s Tabacos de Exportación factory in the Dominican Republic. The original Casa Magna Oscuro and many subsequent lines were made at Plasencia Cigars S.A. in Nicaragua.

It’s offered in three sizes:

  • Casa Magna Connecticut Robusto (5 x 50) — $9.40 (Box of 20, $188)
  • Casa Magna Connecticut Toro (6 1/2 x 52) — $9.70 (Box of 20, $194)
  • Casa Magna Connecticut Toro Gordo (6 x 56) — $9.90 (Box of 20, $198)

In addition, Quesada is shipping the Oktoberfest 2022. Like last year’s release, it uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Dominican binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic. Stores nationwide will receive the same three sizes as last year’s Oktoberfest 10th Anniversary release.

  • Quesada Oktoberfest 2022 Bavarian (5 1/2 x 52) — $9.50 (Box of 10, $95)
  • Quesada Oktoberfest 2022 Das Boot (6 x 52) — $9.95 (Box of 10, $99.50)
  • Quesada Oktoberfest 2022 Über (6 x 65) — $10.85 (Box of 10, $105.50)
  • Quesada Oktoberfest 2022 Prost (5 1/2 x 56) — $10 (Pack of 10, $100)

Of note, the Prost size is an exclusive for CIGAR.com’s Elite Advantage program, a loyalty program. It’s limited to 300 bundles of 10 cigars.

The Oktoberfest 2022 is also made at the Tabacos de Exportación factory.
