Tabacalera William Ventura

The new $50 cigar comes packaged in its own coffins. Production is limited to just 2,000 cigars. Yes, that’s the picture.

The Long Live The Queen Maduro is an important moment: the first new cigar from Caldwell after the Laudisi acquisition, one of the first cigars from the rebuilt Tabacalera William Ventura, and the follow-up to one of last year’s headlining releases.

The new line is offered in five regular production sizes. This is the first new line since Laudisi acquired Caldwell Cigar Co.

The third incarnation in the Hit & Run brand is made with a Mexican San Andrés wrapper covering an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and filler tobaccos grown in Nicaragua—including corojo 98 and an undisclosed varietal—and in Pennsylvania. Like the original blend that was released in 2017, the newest version of the brand is being produced by the Ventura family in the Dominican Republic.

Only 500 boxes of cigars are available for the second cigar in the trilogy.

The name has the exact connotation you’d expect it to.

A new maduro wrapped Long Live The Queen was announced at the 2024 PCA Convention and Trade Show.

To paraphrase those amazing bards, Blink-182, let’s have Halloween on Christmas. Sort of.

The company is also putting the Magnum vitola on hiatus.

After debuting in a robusto vitola, the line created for the company’s top retail accounts gets a corona vitola.

A beefy gordo and a slender corona are scheduled to arrive in stores around the end of August.
