Stolen Throne Debuting Yorktown Fleet at PCA 2023

At next month’s 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show, Stolen Throne Cigars will add a new regular production cigar to its lineup.

Yorktown Fleet incorporates an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper covering a binder and filler blend made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco. In a phone call, Lee Marsh, co-owner of Stolen Throne, told halfwheel that the filler includes a ligero grown in the Condea region of Nicaragua that the company has never used before.

The two-vitola line includes a 5 x 50 robusto priced at $10.50 and a 6 x 50 box-pressed torpedo priced at $11. Both vitolas will be sold in 20-count bundles that are designed to be added to existing retail displays in store humidors and production is being handled at the Rojas Cigar Factory located in Estelí, Nicaragua. The cigars are scheduled to begin shipping to retailers in August.

According to Marsh, the new line’s name was chosen after Stolen Throne recently opened a new headquarters in Yorktown, Va. On October 19, 1781, Gen. Charles Cornwallis of Great Britain surrendered in Yorktown to George Washington and the French Navy. Today, the U.S. Navy operates Naval Weapons Station Yorktown, which provides weapons and ammunition to the Atlantic Fleet.

The 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show takes place July 8-11 in Las Vegas.
