One of the three remaining Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 vitolas to be released has begun shipping to stores.

Yesterday, the company began shipping the Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Revenuer, a 5 3/4 x 46 version of the blend. It is one of the limited production sizes, meaning RoMa Craft Tobac will likely make it available to retailers at least once per year but it won’t be available to order off the price list on a regular basis.

The cigar has an MSRP of $8.50 and is sold in boxes of 24.

Like the rest of the line, it uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra hybrid wrapper over a Mexican San Andrés binder and fillers from the Condega, Jalapa and Pueblo Nuevo regions of Nicaragua.

Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 is RoMa Craft Tobac’s new regular production line, the fourth in the Intemperance family. As with the rest of the lines, it is inspired by the temperance movement that led to prohibition. The line’s name references the Volstead Act, which went into effect in 1920.

RoMa Craft Tobac is producing the line in 11 vitolas, five of which are regular production items:

  • Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Izzy Einstein (4 x 46) — $6.75 (Box of 30, $202.50)
  • Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Belle Livingstone (4 1/2 x 52) — $7.75 (box of 24, $186)
  • Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Bill McCoy (5 x 50) — $7.95 (Box of 24, $190.80)
  • Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 George Remus (5 x 56) — $9 (Box of 24, $216)
  • Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Roy Olmstead (5 1/2 x 54) — $9.25 (Box of 24, $220)

The other six are considered limited production:

  • Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Blind Pig (4 1/2 x 60) — $8.25 (Box of 24, $198)
  • Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Senator Volstead (5 x 50) — $8.50 (Box of 12, $102)
  • Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Noble Experiment (5 x 56) — $9.75 (Box of 12, $117)
  • Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Revenuer (5 3/4 x 46) — $8.50 (Box of 24, $204)
  • Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Gran Perfecto (5 5/8 x 60) — $13 (Box of 12, $156)
  • Intemperance Volstead VO 1920 Judas Hole (6 1/2 x 44) — $8.75 (Box of 12, $105)

Two sizes still have not shipped: Gran Perfecto and Judas Hole.
