Time Out Cigars, which made its debut at the 2023 PCA Convention & Trade Show, has begun shipping Lumpia, a new limited production release that it featured at this year’s PCA Convention & Trade Show.
The cigar is a Nicaraguan puro, with a habano maduro wrapper and filler from the volcanic island of Ometepe, while other tobacco in the blend comes from Condega and Jalapa. The cigar is produced by Origen Cigars S.A. in Estelí, Nicaragua, with Origen also growing the tobacco for the cigar.
It is offered in a 3 1/2 x 48 vitola, priced at $7.40 per cigar and offered in five-packs priced at $37. It’s a size designed to replicate the food item for which it is named, as lumpia is a type of spring roll associated with Indonesia and the Phillippines.
Production is currently being limited to just 2,500 cigars per year. The company is expecting that more cigars will be released later this year, but has not yet announced a date.
The cigars made their debut in early March at Underground Cigars Shop’s NFG2024 and are now getting a widespread release.
