Quesada’s new releases for 2021 are off to stores.

The company has begun shipping the Casa Magna Liga F, the Quesada 1974 Toro and the Quesada Oktoberfest 10th Anniversary. All three were shown off at the 2021 PCA Convention & Trade Show in July.

Liga F is short for Liga Fuerte; Fuerte is Spanish for strong. The new line is produced at Quesada’s factory in the Dominican Republic—as opposed to Plasencia’s factory in Nicaragua where most Casa Magnas have been made—and uses an Ecuadorian sun grown corojo over a Dominican binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers.

  • Casa Magna Liga F Petit Corona (4 1/4 x 40) — $5.80 (Pack of 5, $29; Box of 50, $290)
  • Casa Magna Liga F Robusto (5 x 54) — $9 (Box of 10, $90)
  • Casa Magna Liga F Toro (6 x 52) — $9.50 (Box of 10, $95)
  • Casa Magna Liga F Churchill (7 x 50) — $9.70 (Box 10, $97)

The other new line is the Quesada Oktoberfest 10th Anniversary. In 2011, Quesada introduced Oktoberfest as a cigar the company said was made to be smoked with Märzen-style beer, the German beer that is traditionally served during the Oktoberfest holiday. While the blend is a bit different than other years, it returns in three familiar sizes.

  • Quesada Oktoberfest 10th Anniversary Bavarian (5 1/2 x 52) — $9.50 (Box of 10, $95)
  • Quesada Oktoberfest 10th Anniversary Das Boot (6 x 52) — $9.90 (Box of 10, $99)
  • Quesada Oktoberfest 10th Anniversary Über (6 x 65) — $10.80 (Box of 10, $105)

This year’s release uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Dominican binder and Dominican fillers.

Finally, the company is shipping the newest size of the Quesada 1974 line, a new 6 x 52 toro. Like the rest of the line, it uses a Cameroon-seed wrapper grown in Ecuador over a Dominican binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua.

The Quesada 1974 Toro has an MSRP of $9.25 per cigar and is sold in boxes of 10.
