First they went to Missouri, now the Quesada Selección España A- is heading north to Chicago.

Up Down Cigar will be the second retailer to receive this year’s limited edition España, the 8 1/2 x 48 size known as A-. For the last four years, Quesada has created a special size of its España that is offered to 12 retailers, one per month for a year. This year, Quesada changed up the program slightly sending each retailer 10 boxes of 10 cigars instead of one cabinet of 50 or 100 cigars.

The January boxes were sent to Just For Him of Springfield, Mo.

Suggested retail pricing for the España A- is $9.99 per cigar.

Up Down can be reached at 800.587.3696.
