The newest size of the Surrogates Big Ten will be arriving at stores this upcoming week.

Tatuaje has announced that it has shipped the Surrogates Big Ten Limited Lonsdale Extra, a 6 3/4 x 42 lonsdale. The Big Ten was introduced in 2022 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Surrogates brand; blend-wise, it uses an Ecuadorian habano rosado wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. It is made at My Father Cigars S.A. in Nicaragua.

Each cigar has an MSRP of $11. While there is now a regular production Big Ten vitola, the Lonsdale Extra is limited to 1,000 boxes of 10 cigars.

This is one of at least two new-for-2024 lonsdales from Tatuaje. The other, the Tatuaje Broadleaf LLE, has not yet shipped.

Update (July 22, 2024) — Added MSRP info.
