A few years ago Total Flame released a cigar with Russian tobacco, now it’s a got a cigar with tobacco from Iran.

The cigar is aptly called Persia, a single 6 x 52 vitola that uses a Connecticut wrapper over an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and fillers from Iran, Nicaragua and Pennsylvania.

Pricing is set at $15 per cigar and it is sold in boxes of five.

Total Flame says there are a total of 10,000 cigars, half of which will go to the U.S.

Persia will debut at this week’s IPCPR Convention & Trade Show and it will ship to retailers on July 23.
