Tabacalera William Ventura

Cigars delayed by the fire could begin shipping to stores as early as February 2023.

ADV & McKay’s newest line is available at just about 20 retailers that make up the company’s top accounts.

Some brands will be made at the Ventura family’s original factory, El Maestro, while Tabacalera William Ventura is rebuilt. Other brands are being discontinued.

The fire broke out early Monday morning and was still burning into the early afternoon.

The debut line from Freud Cigar Co. gets its name from Dr. Sigmund Freud’s model for psychoanalytic theory.

Lost&Found is revisiting a cigar it first made in 2016 and is now expanding into a trio of offerings under the Instant Classic name.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Tony Bellatto’s La Barba brand, so he’s celebrated by shutting it down and starting a new company called Bellatto Premium Cigars. It marks a new era for Bellatto and it comes with a variety of new lines. Also, there’s new items from Lost&Found, which is also going through a major transition.

The ADVentura tale takes a dark turn, while the company’s top accounts will get a very limited release.

The first new line from the rebranded Bellatto Premium Cigars, formerly known as La Barba, is called Knockaround.

Lost&Found is no longer finding lost cigars, instead, it’s commissioning its own cigars and then aging them. Three of these blends will head to stores next week.

ADV & McKay’s Piece of Heart, a cigar sold to help raise funds to provide vision care and school supplies for the children in the Dominican Republic, is arriving at U.S. retailers.
